Act Despite Fear

Fear, the primordial instinct that serves to keep us alive in a sometimes dangerous world

, is corrupted by ego and used against us. Most people are lost in ego, in the power struggle of survival and control. Ego seeks to dominate. Blind to ego's intentions, we seek comfort and solace in what we know. Enmeshed in ego we learn to avoid fear rather than face it, and in so doing tie our own hands, bind our thinking, limit our possibilities. To succeed in this life, come to terms with fear and move beyond it.

To secure the knowledge that you are enduring, that you exist beyond your immediate circumstances, whole, safe and secure act despite fear. Fear is from ego. Fear is energy generated from within. Fear paralyzes and inhibits action.

Courage is the capacity to face fear; to face what is imagined. Courage is the ability to generate positive energy to overcome fear.

Only by truly being at peace in this world can you eliminate fear from your experience. In the meantime, to move in the direction of promise and possibility you must act despite fear. You must face fear not to combat it, but rather to recognize it when and where it exists.

In crisis situations some people are able to act quickly and decisively, not allowing fear to muffle a response. Positive motives overcome fear. However, in everyday circumstances where people have the luxury of time and distance, they often allow the seed of fear to grow. You nurture fear with your intellect and your imagination. In these circumstances, only by facing fear, only by stepping outside its influence through awareness, are you able to expose fear for the deception it is.

For those lost in the illusion clinging tightly to the substance of this life, strength of desire is the lever to overcome fear. Do you want it badly enough? Recognize fear for what it is, energy applied by ego to keep you submissive to ego's will. By recognizing, observing fear you dissolve it. Once you free yourself from the grip of fear you can act.

The more you exercise your essence, your awareness, the more you limit fear's hold. If you make a habit of acting despite fear, you will arrive at a state of being where fear has no influence. Action fuels courage. Courage leads to wisdom and wisdom to fulfillment. Act despite fear and live a fulfilling life.
