Overcoming Fears

The Key to Overcoming Fear

At a time when many people are focusing on love I’ve decided to write about its opposite. No, not hate but fear for when we are out of love we live in fear and as George Addair said

“Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.”

This means that in order to achieve what you want in life you have to learn How To Overcome Fear time and time again. Stephen Pierce, in a recent post on DTAlpha Talkback, described a situation where army men were placed in a position where they had to give a talk on a topic they knew nothing about to an audience that was also unfamiliar.

These were tough army guys who faced the prospect of violent death, maybe their own even, on a regular basis. Yet, these guys reacted just like multitudes of other people when faced with the dreaded prospect of public speaking.

Their heart rate shot up, blood pressure increased, their mouth went dry, etc. Sounds familiar? You see this was a cleverly disguised test to see how these guys would react under pressure. It’s one thing to experience fear but how would they react to it. Would they let their fear overcome them or would they overcome it?

Some were completely debilitated by their irrational fear. After all, the only thing that was likely to get hurt in this particular exercise was their pride. Others seized the adrenalin rush that accompanied their fear and used it as a source of motivation. Who do you think would make the most useful soldiers?

“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.”
Abraham Maslow

You too can use this experiment to help you Overcome Your Fears. You don’t have to use the example of public speaking. Think back to a time when you were fearful of something and you found a way to deal with your fear and rapidly overcome it. Relive the experience in your mind. Sharpen the intensity of the details – not the fear itself but that moment when you found the courage to step outside of your fear.

What did you see, hear and feel at that time? Amplify those sensations and then apply them to a current experience that you are procrastinating over because of fear and feel a surge in your self-confidence.

1. How many times have you been afraid of something that you later discovered really wasn’t that fearful after all?

2. How many times have you lamented over not taking action because of your fear?

3. How much is your fear costing you today?

4. How much has your fear cost you over the past five years?

5. If you continue to let fear overcome you, how much will it cost you over the next five years?

In answering these questions consider the physical, mental, emotional and financial impact.

I’m sure that you will rapidly come to the conclusion that fear is simply too costly. Fear is one thing you definitely cannot afford.

So How Do You Overcome Fear and that ensuing procrastination? Easy. When you place more importance on your destination rather than the place where you currently reside you will embark upon your journey. You will discover the courage to step outside of your comfort zone.

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.”
Ambrose Redmoon

You may fear surgery but if surgery is the only option presented to you as a chance to save your life, chances are you’ll undergo surgery. You may be fearful of losing your life to save another but if your value judgment is such that saving a life is worth sacrificing your own you would risk your life to save theirs.

Let’s lighten up. It doesn’t have to a life and death situation. You may be fearful of taking dancing lessons because you perceive yourself as having no rhythm or co-ordination. But, if it creates the opportunity for you to meet and make some great new friendships, so what if you look clumsy on the dance floor?

You have to discover what fires you up, what drives you, what inspires you. When you identify these things you can use them as fuel to blast through fear and propel you around, over or through any obstacles that might stand in the way of your achieving your goals and your dreams.

“When you face your fear, most of the time you will discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivation – it empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams.”
Les Brown

And the key to unlocking what fires you up, what drives you and what inspires you is to discover what you truly love. See I couldn’t resist talking about love after all. For, on the other side of fear, when you distil everything down to its purest essence, everything you’ve ever wanted is LOVE.

River Monsters Season 3 DVD $29.95 Jeremy Wade, biologist and extreme angler, is back with more investigations into the murky world of fishermen’s tales. Jeremy investigates tales of frighteningly large and dangerous river monsters that have attacked and even killed humans. DISC #1: Episode 2) The Mutilator: Jeremy Wade travels to Papua New Guinea to investigate a spate of bizarre deaths on the Sepik River. One of the world’s last great unexplored rivers, the Sepik cuts through the heart of an island renowned for cannibalism, macabre rituals, head hunters and bitter tribal conflict. Episode 1) Flesh Ripper: Angler Jeremy Wade is on the trail of a mysterious man-eater described over two hundred years ago by a famous explorer. Is the eight-foot beast in question a mere legend, or could it be the same, flesh-and-blood creature that has attacked divers, seized a child, and devoured sheep alive? New Zealand’s freshwaters have been a safe place for swimmers, yet as Jeremy finds out, its remote rivers and deep lakes provide refuge for an ancient and slippery predator that can stay hidden for more than a century. To flush one out, he must put himself on the menu. Episode 7) Silent Assassin: Jeremy Wade travels to the Paran River in the remote north east corner of Argentina to investigate the death of a young girl, and once there he discovers a second death. The people who live along this river bank fear the creature they call ‘River Dog’. This is a new species to Jeremy, a river monster that somehow got under his radar. This creature is not armed with bone crunching jaws or razor sharp teeth but a razor-sharp blade tipped with tissue destroying venom. But perhaps most bizarre of all is that this monster lives 500 miles from the sea in totally freshwater. His discovery is not only the most alien of all river monsters it is also the largest totally freshwater river monster Jeremy has ever caught. Episode 4) Chainsaw Predator: Angler Jeremy Wade heads to a remote river in the Australian outback to try and catch the rare but fearsome Freshwater Sawfish. This shadowy predator is reputed to reach eighteen feet long and attack boats – but does the fact that it could slash Jeremy to shreds make it a killer? And why is this bizarre-looking sea monster swimming hundreds of miles inland? In a quest that begins twenty years ago in the Amazon and ends on the banks of a shark-infested river, Jeremy roams into an ancient and beguiling landscape where he encounters Aborigines, scientists, and a real-life ‘Crocodile Dundee’, before finally confronting the disturbing truth. Episode 5) Electric Executioner: Extreme angler Jeremy Wade travels to Brazil’s ‘wild west’ in search of a river monster that has killed three cowboys. The search for the culprit sends him deep into prospecting and cattle country, where people fear for his life and he discovers the shocking truth about a fish he’s never caught before. He has to combat all his fears to catch this monster an

It’s Me or the Dog: Season 2 DVD $49.95 It’s Me or the Dog: Season 2 DVD From unruly hounds to pampered poodles, dog trainer Victoria Stilwell has seen them all – but what about the owners who are forced to live with them? With homes destroyed and marriages in trouble, it’s not just the dogs that need help. This series follows Victoria Stilwell as she tries to restore harmony in homes where the pet is running riot and the family is in the dog house. Through observation, interviews and secret filming with a ‘pet cam’, Victoria uses her 10 years of experience to assemble the evidence and diagnose the problem. A clear practical training program follows, offering both pet and owner the chance to change the bad habits of a lifetime. Filmed in the United Kingdom, this series gives owners easy to follow hands-on advice. Ep. 1) Nervous Newlyweds Victoria Stilwell arrives to help newlyweds Michael and Hana with their two nervous dogs, five year-old rat terrier, Cookie Dough, and two year-old Doberman, Daisy. Michael surprised Hana with guard-dog Daisy two years ago after purchasing her from a back-yard breeder. But ever since he brought her home, Daisy’s anxious behavior has been scaring away friends and family instead of intruders! Taking the lead from Daisy, Cookie has turned into a monster as well. The fearful behavior doesn’t stop at the front door. Out on a walk, both dogs are constantly on edge, snapping, barking and lunging at passing neighbors and their dogs. Mealtimes are equally distressing for the couple. Cookie wolfs down her dinner so fast that she chokes, while Daisy only picks at her food. Add in Cookie’s bizarre hatred for the vacuum cleaner and both dogs’ disgusting habit of eating cat poop, and it is no wonder Michael and Hana are at their wits end. With their first anniversary fast approaching, the couple wants to host a party at their home. Can Victoria soothe Daisy and Cookie’s fears before the big day arrives? Or will these anxious dogs unsettle their party plans? Ep. 2) Eight is Enough Victoria Stilwell comes to the rescue of Jeff and Melissa Spinner, whose home has been over-run by their eight rescue dogs. Melissa has a real soft spot in her heart for strays. Any homeless canine she comes across, she takes in with enthusiasm. Less enthusiastic is her husband, Jeff. He’s told Melissa time and again, “NO MORE DOGS” – but she’s completely ignored his pleas. Now, between the frenzied feeding times, walking, and cleaning up after eight dogs, Melissa and Jeff ‘s days are consumed by chaos. Jeff has professional training as a chef but can’t even fix himself a snack in his own kitchen. Between the dogs being underfoot and even jumping up on the stove and turning on the gas, Jeff is afraid one of them will end up hurt. Not only has Jeff been deprived of his kitchen, he’s also second fiddle in the bedroom. Melissa invites as many dogs as she can fit onto the bed at night, while Jeff is left to fend for whatever space he can get. Amidst all the mayhem, Shepherd

F-16C Falcon $179.95 The Falcon F 16 model shows the lightweight fighter in all its glory. Made specifically for the USAF, the original proved to be an aircraft that could be relied on. The Falcon fighter jet model is the perfect piece to take your collection to new heights. The F-16 model Fighting Falcon is a compact, single-engine jet fighter aircraft manufactured for the United States Air Force (USAF). Though designed as a lightweight fighter, it has evolved into a successful multirole aircraft. The fighter jet model is highly maneuverable and has proven its worth in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. The Falcon is the largest Western fighter program with over 4,000 aircraft built since its production in 1976. Though the Falcon military model no longer produced for the Air Force, it is still being made for export. Its relatively low cost and high performance has made it popular worldwide, serving a total of 24 countries. The F-16C is the upgraded version of the F-16A, with the latest cockpit control and display technology. The Falcon aircraft model has participated in numerous conflicts, mostly in the Middle East. Since the end of Operation Desert Storm, it patrolled the Iraqi no-fly zones. With the F-16 model, two air-to-air victories were scored in Operation Southern Watch, the first one by an F-16D and the second by an F-16C. On January 17, 1993, an F-16C destroyed an Iraqi MiG-23 with an AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM). The F-16 fighter jet model was also employed by NATO during Operation Allied Force over Yugoslavia, conducting air-to-ground sorties and achieving one or two aerial victories, one by a Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16A and another possibly by a USAF F-16C. A Yugoslavian MiG-29 may have been shot down by an F16C with two AMRAAMs, but the Serbs subsequently found fragments of a Strela-2M MANPAD in the wreckage of the MiG-29. In regards to the military model, the USAF plans to retain the Falcon until 2025. It can be seen in movies such as Blue Thunder, Jewel of the Nile, the Iron Eagle series, X2 and The Sum of All Fears. The aircraft is also a popular model for computer flight simulators, appearing in over twenty games, including F-16 Fighting Falcon, Strike Commander and iF-16.
