Trust&Faith vs Fear&Doubt
Trust&Faith vs Fear&Doubt
Watch this one with your kids, if you expect them to do well in an exam, they often will. Same is true of expecting them to fail miserably.
Circumstances often turn out the way we expect them to.
My definition of Confidence is - always expecting a positive outcome.
When you walk into a situation, be it personal or professional, when you expect things to go well, you are confident and more often than not, that confidence you exude is what attracts the positive outcome.
Our surroundings are a direct and proportional reflection of our own state of being, which leads me to another experiential learning exercise I participated in.
I had to climb up a 10 meter telephone pole - the circumference of the actual pole was just a little wider than my feet, say 30cm. Sure, I was fully harnessed and it was in a perfectly "safe" environment. But when I got up there, and had to stabalise, before jumping off,
I felt that my world was shaking. The pole was shaking and I was petrified. Later, I realised that it was my own fear, that caused me to tremble and shake which in turn caused the pole to shake.
We effect our surroundings in a much bigger way than we can imagine.
So, the next time you find yourself in a hostile situation, in a uncomfortable place, not trusting anyone or anything, do a quick check to see where all the vibrations are really coming from.
footnote:
*having said that, we have to trust our instincts as well. Fear can be a good thing sometimes, keeping us away from real danger.
**practice choosing trust instead of fear in non-life-threatening situations often, and strengthen that muscle. Just like going to the gym and working your biceps, the muscle strenghtens and in turn becomes easier and easier to use.
So, two things to walk away from this little note today are:
1) How to be more confident?
Expect only positive outcomes – all the time.
No such thing as “more” confident, you are confident or you are not!
You expect positive results or you expect negative results.
*What is a positive outcome? Hmmmmm…….this is a topic for another article. Having implicit faith is knowing that everything is perfect as it is. Always, even when they appear “wrong”
2) Shall I trust and have faith or should I fear and doubt?
Trusting opens doors. Fear paralyses you.
FEAR is just
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real

If we doubt, they will let us down, because that's all we expect from them.

(Inspired by Susan Jeffer's Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway)
Fear is not bad.
But our bodies have a primitive physiological reaction to fear.
Adrenelain,
Heart racing,
Mind racing = need to "act" or
dread = need to avoid.
But these reactions are primitive. We are not faced with a lion's jaws in modern day fears.
Most of our fears are unfounded and far from life-threatening.
For example, the fear of public speaking which by the way ranks up there with the fear of death, is a fear of humiliation and rejection. It is not life-threatening.
When we feel fear it is a sign that we are growing.
We can't ignore the fear, FEEL it and act anyway!
I share a very unique "mantra" with my clients - when they want to do big stuff and are afraid.
Take risks! The kind of risks hat increase our sense of self worth and act inspite of the fear.
(not silly life-threatening risks!)
Pushing through the DISCOMFORT of the fear is liberating and less PAINFUL than living with an unknown fear.
Just enough fear let's us know we're alive and moving in the right direction. Feeling the fear and doing it anyway can be exhilarating and rewarding. Let the fear bring you closer to your goals.
Not pushing through fear will:
stop you from achieving your dreams.
lead you to mediocrity.
limit your happiness.
cover up your creativity and uniqueness-depriving the world of "you"
