Fear is Instinctive, Not Predictive

FEAR, what a scary word.  Did you know that fear is an evolutionary trait and that most intelligent species (including humans) have used fear to evolve.  Fear is an instinct that has been developed to protect us.  I know that fear is important, but that it is also a most destructive trait.  Don’t Fear too much, I think that’s the real lesson I want to impart.

            When we let our natural of instincts of fear override our lives and thoughts, we will never truly live.  If fear runs our lives we can NEVER experience what the Universe has in store for us.  If we turn tail and run away every time we are fearful, that will become our norm.  Every new experience would be wrought with anxiety for fear of how it will turn out.  This Fear would in turn rule our lives and prevent happiness and light from entering our souls.

            The trick is to find out which fears are necessary and which fears need to be examined and thrown away.  Try thinking of our fears as instinct, not reaction.  We all know that humans have instincts that are good and bad. But society has taught us how to control and use our instincts to better ourselves and those around us.  For instance, our instinct when we are hungry is to eat.  But to fit into our society we don’t just walk up to another person and take their food, simply because we are hungry. (that’s something Cavemen did, right)  So why can we control our “hunger” instincts but believe we can’t control our fear.  We Can Control and Use our Fears to Grow.

            It’s a slow process but to grow you must acknowledge your fears and shed the belief that everything bad you fear will happen to you.  If you can’t shed your fear and negative belief, it could be exactly where you are heading.  The Universe gives you what you concentrate on most, it doesn’t judge if you think its good or bad.  Try to take your fear captive and turn it into something positive, something beautiful, or just dismiss it altogether.  The less fear you have in your heart, the more room you have for happiness and love to grow in your heart.
