Fear As Your Fuel

In this episode, I read a chapter from my book - Connect to your inner guide. Use fear as fuel to motivate you rather bring you down. Fear is your friend and doesn’t treat it like an enemy. Treat fear like your best friend, who can help you climb up the ladder. Bring in the power within to overcome this fear that’s holding you down. Power only flows to those that serve.

Hi everyone,

This is Shree Manju Kattagadda.

Welcome to Life is Magical podcast.

So in this episode the 26th,

I would like to bring in a conversation about fear and it's a chapter from my book Connect Your Inner Guide published four years ago and I was intuitively being drawn to this page and the chapter.

So I would like to read through and do see what connects with you and do check in like you know,

What is resonating?

What is not resonating?

How are you feeling with yourself?

Just sit in and consume the information.

Don't be judgmental.

Don't draw any lines yet like you know,

Because sometimes it could be a thought provoking.

Some things might be you already know and it's coming back to the surface of it and just be observant of how you thought are going towards it.

That's the most important thing here.

So with that here,

Let's begin.

Get yourself with a cuppa and relax yourself and just listen to fear.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve.

The fear of failure by Paulo Coelho.

As per a course of miracles,

There is only two things we all have in common,

Love and fear.

I have chosen fear unknowingly and knowingly for many years,

But they all eventually came to the surface as health issues and then I had to let them go slowly as there was a little home within me to hold space for them.

Now my only home inside me is full of joy,

Love,

Happiness,

Curiosity for life and has a very little space for fear.

Why not?

It is unpleasant to wake up and panic about traffic or kids at school,

Their safety or job layoffs.

When I think of these,

My hands fist up,

My tummy feels sick,

The body tenses up and I get palpitations.

I would rather choose myself to be filled with love and just love wherever possible.

I still have my fears but I don't feed much energy to these thoughts that come in from time to time as these situations may or may not happen.

There is no point in thinking about them so much and waste what is in front of me right now.

Look at the cattle in the forest.

If they were constantly in fear of the lion that might eat them,

Would they be gazing and enjoying the grass that is right in front of them?

No,

Right?

Fear as fuel.

Use fear as a fuel to motivate you rather bring you down.

Don't treat like an enemy,

Treat it like your best friend who can help you climb up the ladder.

Bring in the power within to overcome this fear that is holding you down.

Power only flows to those that serve.

Ask the power to flow through you and be able to serve and be in connection to the source.

Fear is the necessary precursor to change.

We must become comfortable with our fear.

Everything we want and need can be found in The Unknown Territory of Fear and Uncertainty by Masten Kipp.

Your fears are always lower to your smile's vibration.

A fearless soul learns to adjust.

Fear is always about tomorrow or the next moment,

Never about now.

So it is time we redefine our fear and how it controls us in the moment.

The dark side of fear.

Fear is what holds us in darkness,

But it is time we move towards the light.

We all have to.

At one point of life,

So why not now?

Fear of inadequacy,

Of not being good enough,

Of unsettlement,

Of relationships,

Of responsibilities and many more.

These are all multiplying in the new age lifestyles we are all leading.

Think back and take a step closer to your inner guidance and ask if this is required.

Ask yourself,

At this moment of time,

What can I achieve if I don't have this fear?

Just replace with your fears with love and power and see the results.

We always let fear rule us and this leads to dissatisfaction in our life.

We abuse our own selves on things we couldn't accomplish.

Fear never has any power unless we feed with power.

Fear of living in the darkness is equal to hell on earth and many life instances are driving each human towards that state.

Also,

When you rise your vibrations,

You do feel the fear is not tangling you anymore,

But you have the strength to cut through them and make way to light within you.

You need to remember to fill the gap of the less fear to more happiness and love.

You can do by making yourself feel good.

Everything you want is on the other side of the fear,

As Jack Canfield says.

Fear of success.

Have you heard about it before?

I have and wondered why would anyone be afraid of success?

Success is supposed to be great and everyone's dream,

Right?

But old limiting beliefs that are not even yours in some situations arise and create it.

And before you can even plan for your success,

Your mind goes planning for failure.

So think of the situations where you were imagining and seeing yourself doing good.

And look and take a step closer to it.

Don't be afraid.

Look back on your journey.

Who did all the work and effort to reach at this point of your life?

And why are you fearing it?

Ask yourself what are the reasons?

Is it money,

Family,

Friends,

Challenges associated with it,

Relationship challenges?

Let the thoughts of why flow in.

No matter what it is,

Don't judge,

But let them come by.

When the answers are flowing in,

Are they serving any purpose in your life?

When you get the answers,

Ask your inner guide,

Which ones are facts and which ones are made up beliefs.

You will get the answers in accordance with what you have been doing with the soul alignment from the place of love.

And just take a deep breath and create a space within.

So here is about like,

You know,

What I learned about the fear in over the years is thinking about where is the fear coming from and what is it teaching me and what are the situations that I need to overcome?

Are they from this lifetime?

Are they from my childhood?

Are they being created by a limiting belief?

Are they the things that I have actually done and failed it and I have a fear or the things that has been imposed on me that I can't do it?

So think about from that point in the perspective and ask yourself,

What if I'm successful?

That one statement has always given me the fuel to my fear and release and go on to trying even as trying that I wouldn't have dared enough to do it before.

But now I'm not afraid to try it out.

So unless you give the fear any power,

The fear is not going to be a dangerous thing.

Actually,

It's your best friend because think about any time you have a fear,

Something exciting you're going to do,

Something you have never done is what you're going to be doing and how wonderful is it to take that opportunity,

Right?

So fear comes only when you're of the unknown things and unknown things doesn't mean you're going to fail,

But it's going to give you a chance to understand you further.

So here is an experience healing tip.

A few of the below settings will help you feel good,

Adapt to what is convenient to you and the rest you can always come back and try out.

Set an intention for the day.

Meditate even for five minutes.

Be mindful of your day and keep reminders.

Mantra affirmation is the best to be worked up.

10 second deep inhales and exhales for every couple of hours or keep a gratitude journal.

Write the things you love about yourself.

Set an intention on the food you consume.

Move your body.

Dance,

Do yoga or exercise.

Tune in to talk to yourself.

Close your eyes and see yourself living your best life.

Change the space to feel good.

Let go of the things you don't require.

Practice forgiveness or the idea of it to start with.

Write your fears down.

This is the first you would be taking to release the fears.

Fears are commonly associated with the future events based on a past action.

And don't ever hide your weaknesses.

Instead,

Share them out and make them your strengths.

The more we talk about our weaknesses,

We are actually learning to be overcoming it and getting stronger.

A fearless soul learns to adjust.

Change is the only constant in our life.

The secret to happiness is to be free of fear.

Fear is like toxic that runs through much of our thinking.

It feeds on our insecurities,

Feeling of loss,

Happiness,

Loneliness,

Inadequacy and attachment.

Be fear free and invite happiness.

So with that,

Hope you got something nuggets to try it on and embrace your fear and embrace your new possibilities and new life with success.

So with that,

Thank you for listening.

Staying up till the end.
