I
remember a young boy who lived primarily in a fantasy world. He was afraid of
coming out of his head, because the world looked so scary. He fantasized about
being a movie star, a professional singer and dancer, and a published author.
He wanted to be well known, but was afraid of rejection, which is a peculiar
and disturbing paradigm to face. It took him 500 auditions, 1000 rejection
letters, and very little success to realize that life was more about conquering
fears, than it was becoming a star.
The
Self, with a capital “S,” comes to the table with so much to offer. But often
fears take over. Those who are watching, see very little of the special gifts
Self was given. Self needs a chance. Self needs a push. Self often needs a strong
pat on the back. And self needs loads of encouragement.
If
you are going to invest in life, you must invest in yourself. So, the first
step to investing in you is to get over what impedes your movement forward in
life toward prosperity, joy, and peace. Then you must face each of the
roadblocks, as they are the fears that keep you from believing in your Self.
You
see, you can’t believe in fear and believe in your Self at the same time. It’s
impossible. Only one will win.
I
remember watching the Olympics one year—1996, the year of the fabulous six. One
of my favorite gymnasts was Dominique Dawes. She was poised to win the all
around medal with only the floor exercise left for her to compete to win. At prior
competitions, I had seen her get scores consistently of 9.95. It was easily within
her grasp. But when she came out on to the floor to do her routine, something
unexpected happened…
