FEAR!

Just seeing the word itself can raise your heartbeat.  The problem with many of us is that we live our lives, making (or avoiding) most of our important decisions based on FEAR.

Each one of us has this built into our DNA for survival.  Fear is a good thing when it’s not running rampant in our lives.  Without it, few of us would survive past adolescence.  But in our modern world, the same fear “wiring” that kicks in when we’re afraid for our lives – that would save us in the “wild” – cripples us when it shouldn’t.

PEOPLE DRIVEN BY FEAR ONLY TAKE ACTION WHEN THE PAIN OR FEAR OF STAYING IN THE CURRENT SITUATION IS WORSE THAN THE PAIN OR FEAR OF TAKING ACTION

Imagine you need to cross a chasm to reach a land of riches… but the gap seems too far.  You can live where you are and survive forever, but it will be a meager existence.  If you were to make the jump, you’re dreams would become reality.  Now imagine you’re being chased by a hungry lion… running for your life, with nowhere else to turn – you sprint to the edge and jump with everything you’ve got!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:

Life Expectancy in the US:  

78.2 years.

4066 weeks.

28,465 days.

There’s not much time.

What we should really be afraid of is letting our time on this planet wither away without going after our dreams before it’s too late.
