NEVER BE AFRAID TO FEAR

Never be afraid to fail again, even if you have tried over and over, and have audited your results yet you keep failing. You know you really desire to be rich, successful and perhaps famous, so it’s not a question of lack of motivation. You have made changes to your methods and strategies, and have started creating successful habits while dropping habits that seem to draw you back. Then do not be afraid to try again. And when you do, do not be afraid to fail again. For each time you fail, you learn a new way that won’t work. And even if you use that method again and fail, then you know why you failed. So do not be afraid to fail for therein lies the experience that will eventually bring forth success. And you will succeed when you are not afraid to fail again.

Never be afraid to fall again, if you fell seven times, stand eight times. Yes! You will fall seven times…. Stand again the eighth time. If you don’t fall, you won’t know the value of standing. And if you don’t stand, you will not see that a fall isn’t meant to keep you down, but to make you learn how to stand strong. Knowing that to stand is to risk falling makes you afraid of falling, but much more, makes you afraid of not standing strong. So use your fear to learn what it takes to stand tall and strong.

Never be afraid to speak again, even if you were shut up or shunned or beaten up for speaking the last time. There is no faster way to imprison a mind than to keep it from expressing itself. There is no better way to imprison a man than locking up his thoughts and feelings and words within him without an outlet for expression. When you speak, you get refreshed. When you utter speech, yes, you make known your folly and level of intelligence. But better it is, to be thought of as a fool because I spoke my mind, than to be called ‘wise’ because I am dumb and afraid and won’t speak up. Never be afraid to speak the truth even if it means certain death afterwards.  

Never be afraid to fight again, if you’ve been defeated before. Never be afraid to fight if you feel threatened…by injustice and evil and cowardice masked as bravery. Never be afraid of being beaten because you put in a fight. For when you fight depression, you win joy. When you fight folly and ignorance, you win wisdom. When you fight death and destruction, you win life. When you fight poverty, you win wealth. When you fight war, you win peace. To be afraid to fight is to be overcome by fright, to take flight and never know the feeling of overcoming.

Never be afraid to love again, if you once loved and were unloved back or made a fool for love. Love is the highest of virtue, and to not know it, is to not show it. The highest of men are men of feelings and emotions and love. They might not be driven crazy by it. But they are driven by it. They might not wear it on their faces. But they carry it in their hearts. Never be afraid to love again.

Never be afraid to fear, for fear makes you afraid; and when you are afraid, then you can see that you can be strong and bold and have faith to overcome that very thing you are afraid of. You should do everything to overcome your fears…for therein lies your success. Be afraid. But much more, Have Faith.
