Courage from Within: Step Aside, Fear

Square Dancing 2011 202

“Never surrender your hopes and dreams to the fateful limitations others have placed on their own lives. The vision of your true destiny does not reside within the blinkered outlook of the naysayers and the doom prophets. Judge not by their words, but accept advice based on the evidence of actual results. Do not be surprised should you find a complete absence of anything mystical or miraculous in the manifested reality of those who are so eager to advise you. Friends and family who suffer the lack of abundance, joy, love, fulfillment and prosperity in their own lives really have no business imposing their self-limiting beliefs on your reality experience.” 

~Anthon Saint Marten

Often when we are passionately pursuing our dreams, we come up against those who would be our naysayers.  More disappointing is that the naysayers come from those who we would expect to be our strongest supporters.  Those naysayers often act from a place of insecurity and unknowingly, sometimes knowingly, project their fears onto us.  Get used to it and learn to deflect their fears, worry and negativity.

Learn to believe in yourself alone.  Whether or not you are supported, whether or not you feel loved and encouraged, whether or not your are 100% certain of a positive outcome, step out with belief and with the motivation that will you through the difficult challenges.

Any goal that you set and aim to achieve, you will encounter negativity; you may be your own worst enemy.  Don’t listen to the negative.  Keep going forward and cast aside the fear.

You can do it!
