Dismiss Fear

Among the most unhelpful beliefs I've lived with is this: "Big boys don't fear."  That's right  - of course they don't cry either, but they certainly don't get afraid.  Being afraid is for weaklings, sissies and pagans.  On the list of things not to fear include:

  • Failure

  • Death

  • People (and especially what they think!)

  • Pain

  • Poverty

  • Differentness

  • Public Speaking

  • Being Wrong

  • Loss

  • Evil

  • Change

  • Failure (Oh, did I already say that one?)

  • Fear itself

 To fear any of the above would be to admit weakness, lack of faith, lack of confidence, lack of courage and lack of faith.  (Oh, did I already say "lack of faith?") 

Pssst... Truth be told - I've feared those things at one time or the other... even recently.  I can wake up with both black and white and Technicolor stories pulsing through my mind, playing out bone-chilling scenarios, assuming catastrophe after catastrophe, blaming my cursedeness, preparing the "what nexts?" planning the "what ifs?" and complaining with "what the hecks!" and "Why me's!"  No, I'm not proud of this... but that's been part of the problem! 

"So," you might ask, "Did it work for ya?"  Well, um... sure... if you  think that three hours of sleep, avoiding people, underlying anger, borderline depression, a beer before bed and cookies for breakfast "works."  OK,  www.JeffCaliguire.com
