HOW TO OUTWIT THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR by Russ Aker

Indecision causes procrastination and doubt.  Doubt 

creates Fear.  Fear diverts attention and impedes action.  

Do you know how many times you’ve said, “I’ll start 

tomorrow”?  Action Step four in the chapter on Desire Hill 

says, “create a definite plan for what it is you Desire and 

begin at once whether you are ready or not.”

What is that fear which stops us in our tracts?  Criticism.

I suggest a good escape route is a real honest evaluation 

of our Ego.  Our ego will deny the existence of fear, 

indecision, doubt and ego itself, using every excuse 

available not wanting to let go.  Ego allows us excuses to 

blame failure on something outside of us.  If we are 

allowed to see these enemies, our ego fears we will be 

discovered as less valuable and important… it FEARS 

Criticism (criticism being the second greatest fear).  Ego 

has a dictionary full of reasons and excuses.

Ego is first party to denial and wants us to keep thinking 

our lives are in the control of something outside of us.  Our 

ego knows if we come awake and start to see, then we’ll 

have to take action in an unknown environment outside the 

misery of our current comfort zone.  Why are we so 

miserable in what seems comfortable?  Because our 

comfort zone is only a looking glass for viewing our Desire.  

We must step through the looking glass and experience 

the uncomfortable to attain what we seek…or quit looking 

through the glass and torturing ourselves.

If one has to Fear something Fear this...

Hill - “Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite us is 

TIME. If we hesitate before moving, or neglect to move 

promptly, we will be wiped off the board by time. We are 

playing against a partner who will not tolerate 

INDECISION!” ...Your move!
