The message I sent yesterday was about THE BIG THINGS VS THE LITTLE THINGS. The point was if a person has dreams and goals, or maybe financial needs and wants, what will help achieve those things are doing the little things. It's not only about learning, it's about doing. I understand that 100% of the people in Shaklee know that the way to move forward is activity...doing...being consistent with effort and attitude. Kind of simple. But reality sets in at some point and for many people what holds them back is when they face adversity. Fear has a way of getting in the way and stops people in their tracks. When I was working out this morning I had a thought about the word fear that I heard many moons ago. An acronym for fear is:
F...false
E...evidence
A...appearing
R...real
I believe that many of us talk ourselves out of doing the things that create growth and I say that from experience. I have done that many, many times. More times than I probably remember. I don't know where they always come from but we get negative thoughts and if we don't fight back in our thinking and our self-talk we give in and think, "I'll do it tomorrow." If this kind of thinking continues there will be very little action because the world always has tomorrows!
So, the thing to do is to accept the idea of that acronym: False Evidence Appearing Real
We make it up in our thinking and I believe what we should be doing is acknowledge that fear isn't going to stop me from having the kind of life I deserve. Don't allow anything or anyone stop you from creating the life you deserve.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
