Master your fears...

"Doubt and fear are the great enemies of knowledge, and he who
encourages them, who does not slay them, thwarts himself at every
step." - James Allen

"I've heard it said that we're born with only a few fears - like the
fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. All other fears we learn
along the way. Like the fear of failure, fear of rejection - even a
fear of success. I believe our greatest enemy in life is fear, because
fear keeps us from doing many of those things we would like to do that
would make our life more complete and more enjoyable." -Vic Johnson

"Doubt is the first cousin of fear and precedes it. We weren't born
with doubt. Our habbit of doubt has grown throughout our life. If we
dwell on a doubt and give into it, it then grows into fear." - Vic
Johnson

"A doubtful mind will be as unsettled as the wave of the sea that is
tossed and driven by the wind; and every decision you then make will
be uncertain, as you turn first this way, and then that." - The
Apostle James

Doubt makes us ineffective...

"If most of our fears and all of our doubts are learned along the way,
then we can "unlearn" them by becoming masters of our thoughts." - Vic
Johnson

"True courage is not the absence of fear, it's the mastery of fear." -
Mark Twain

"The people who live the life of their dreams have just as many fears
as those who live miserable, unfulfilled lives - they have just
learned to master their fears instead of allowing their fears to
master them." - Vic Johnson

"You can cancel out fear with faith. For there is no force in this
world more powerful than faith. The most amazing things can happen as
a result of it... There are two massive thought forces competing for
control of the mind: fear and faith, and faith is stronger, much
stronger. Hold that thought of faith's greater power until you believe
it, for it can be the difference between success and failure." -
Norman Vincent (You can if you think you can)

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that
something else is more important than fear." - Ambrose Redmoon

"Everyone is afraid at some point or another. Those who succeed in
conquering fear have put their focus on what's important to them
rather than on the fear. If your young child darted across the street
in front of traffic, you'd easily overcome the fear of any physical
danger that retrieving the child would pose. The child's life is more
important to you than the fear. So focus on what's beyond the fear -
what's on the other side - when you overcome the fear." - Vic Johnson

"Dont wonder wether something is possible - don't get bogged down in
WHETHER. Ask HOW. Over and over if you have to, but ask how can you do
it, not whether you can." - Brian Tracy

And that's worth thinking about...
