Fears And Doubts

We must not let fears and doubts rule us. We must not hide either from life or within life to avoid our fears and doubts. When we can no longer hide from our fears and doubts, we are left not only with today's fears and doubts, but also yesterday's fears and doubts. The combined weight of our fears and doubts, past and present, may nearly destroy us, literally. We have to fight our fears and doubts and win. We can do it.

We must not forget that our fears and doubts are with us each day. We cannot fight fears and doubts once, and forget to fight our fears and doubts until we are again forced to fight our fears and doubts. We must fight a small battle with our fears and doubts each day. Fighting our fears and doubts each day makes the fight easy. Accumulated fears and doubts magnify with time. If we fight fears and doubts in perspective, we will win.


To fight fears and doubts today, we must appreciate and be thankful for what and who we have, we must not mourn what we have lost, and we must not crave what we do not have. If we waste energy on negatives, we will have no energy left for positives and we will lose what we do have. We cannot change the mistakes which we have made, and we must not continue making the same mistakes. We must learn from our mistakes or our mistakes mean nothing.


We have today, we have ourselves, and we have our friends. The combination of these can give us what we all want from life, happiness. We only have to let it be. Today, we must not worry about tomorrow, we must not mourn what we do not have, but we must take time to enjoy what we do have. We must accept that something, God, fate, or past loved ones, is guiding us and protecting our soul. We must accept that there is a reason for everything that occurs.


We and only we have the ability to make ourselves happy. We must be happy with what life has given us at the moment. If we do not do these things, we will have nothing. We must fight for ourselves. When we find ourselves, we will like ourselves. We know that the prize is worth the battle, so we must fight our fears and doubts now.
