What I fear I create!



The banner “What I fear I create!” hanging on the wall reminds me of the first time I considered this truth almost 25 years ago.  After 40 plus years coaching and encouraging people to better their lives, I realize this statement is one of the universal truths governing my future.   Most of my life I have just made do, thinking and believing my life events were results of my heredity, environment, karma or other external forces.  It often seems that I allow natural limitations to explain the circumstances of my life more than intentions or choices.  I become a victim rather than accountable in life and quickly argue for and defend my limitations. 

The good news!

The statement, “What I fear I create” is only a portion of the greater truth – “I experience what I create”.  I can choose to create my life from my fears or from my positive intentions.  I believe that each of us is made in the image of the Creator, giving us the power of creation, will and choice!  One of my favorite writings is found in Genesis  2:4-5, “The Lord God made the earth and heavens and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew.”  I am given the capacity to choose much of my future.  I can make my future bigger or more powerful than my past and present circumstance.  Fear lives in the past, and only has power that is given to it. 

What do you want?

None of us has to remain stuck believing what is to be will be. Our world is full of mystery and our creative minds allow us to aspire and live abundantly.  Begin by forming the image of what you want that is in harmony with your being (contract) and directing the energy into actions (doing).  Energy comes from the image or idea of what we want.  We become true to our nature, co-creators with the Creator – powerful and potent.

The Language of MORE!

Many of us avoid change in our lives because we believe that it requires so much of us. We would really like to become what we’ve dreamed of but we tell ourselves we can’t spare the time or energy. But consider this possibility. Would you make a change if you knew that it required just a simple change in your language?

For example, in a visit with a young man the other day, I learned that his goal for this year is to be less angry. “What would less angry be like for you?”I asked and he explained that he would become more thoughtful and respond rather than react to situations that seemed to “cause” his anger.

“Would you be willing to take part in an experiment ?”, I asked. “Would you be willing to replace the idea of “less angry” with “thoughtful and responsive” each time you thought or talked about this goal for the next week?”

He agreed to this experiment. One week later he reported a significant change in his experience at home and at his job. He had not found very little to be angry about. He had felt much more productive and satisfied with at his job. And his time with family had been calm and enjoyable.

This is a simple example of learning a new language. No it is not a Rosetta stone version. However, it would be a great idea! The language that most of us have been speaking since being small children is the Language of Limitation! In speaking it daily we remind ourselves of our weaknesses, inabilities and insecurities. In speaking the Language of Limitation we insure that we will not be able to rise above the cycles of frustration, disappointment, and feeling of being not important.

We could spend a lifetime trying to break out of these cycles that we find ourselves in. Many just give in to the lies that this language continually whispers into our subconscious thoughts.

How can you become a Winner?

We all want to win! We all want to be champions! We all want to be successful! What is the language of champions, of winners? The Language of Winners is the language of Abundance! This new language focuses on the positive, possible, and challenging ideas of your dreams. It lifts you above the old thoughts of weakness and failure. It is the language of MORE!

What MORE do you want in your life? Would you be willing to try an experiment?
