5 Decisions To Shred Fear Out Of Your Life 

 I have personally witnessed thousands of people worldwide imprisoned by fear.  They are trapped behind the bars of not being worthy of success and shackled to their past mistakes. Are you one of those prisoners?  Have you been wrongly convicted and given a life sentence by the enemy of fear?  It's time for you to break free!  How can you possibly break through the bondage that has kept you chained down and unable to move forward in years?  Make a decision.  That's right.  You must make the decision that you will no longer be a slave to fear. 

The original Hebrew root of the word "decision" means to cut off and get rid of.  It's done. It's finished.  No more. It's decision time!  Take a deep breath and get ready to change your life with these five decisions that will shred fear out of your life.

Decision #1: Make the Shift

In the movie, "Facing the Giants", the coach cares enough about one of his players to get in his face and confront him about his fear. He sees that the player has the gift of leadership, but is wasting it.  The coach pushes the player and makes him go to a level where he's never been.  He's got to see beyond where he's been by doing something that he's never done.  At that point, the shift happens...the shift from the past to the present...from where he's been to where he wants to go now.

A shift gets developed when you're focused.  Lack of focus will kill your dreams! When you make that shift and get laser-focused, it's guaranteed that you will achieve your goals and dreams.  Unfortunately, the biggest distractions in our lives that cause us to lose focus are other people.  These people don't believe in you or your dream.  They are insecure dream stealers that won't take the action for that shift in life to happen.  There's only one thing to do when you are surrounded by these types of people...get away!  If they are family or close friends, then it's time to love them, leave them and show them.  Let them know that you love them but you have to take time for yourself to achieve your dreams and then your action that you show them in pursuit of your goals and dreams will greatly change how they see you.  What happens next?  The shift!

Decision #2: Take Ownership of Your Why

One of the top things that you must do to get fear out of your life is take ownership of your Why, which is your ultimate purpose. It's the reason you get out of bed every day.  When you take ownership of your Why, you own it no matter what happens, no matter what occurs each and every day. It's your Why and nobody can take that from you!  Your Why is the insurance that backs up your goals and dreams. There's no way that you can give up on your daily quest to achieve your goals and dreams if have taken full ownership of your Why. 

You have to protect your Why, because it's yours and you own it.  If someone walked into your home and started taking your valuables, I have no doubt that you would stop them, because it's your stuff!  You own it!  However, why do most people allow the naysayers to steal your Why on a daily basis?  It's simple.  They haven't taken true ownership of their Why in life.  You have to fight for your Why like you would fight for your belongings. If you have someone in your life trying to take your Why away from you, the get rid of them.  Like I said before, love them, leave them and show them.  It's your Why so take some action to protect it! 

Decision #3: Make Your Pledge

A pledge is a declaration, a solemn vow.   It's your responsibility to make a pledge to yourself and your Why to be the very best that you can get every single day.  When you make a declaration to yourself and everyone around you that you will not give up on your Why, fear will flee!  There's no room for fear if you are truly committed to your Why!

That's right.  I said a commitment! Your pledge is a formal commitment.  It doesn't waiver or falter during the tough times.  Your pledge causes you to lead by example with your attitude, words, ethics, and values.  Your pledge is the driving force behind your Why.  It pushes you and serves as a constant reminder about your commitment. 

With the confrontation and resistance that constantly bombard us in society, your pledge will be challenged.  You will be pressured to give up, because the world says that your pledge is not realistic. What do you do? When you get pushed, push back hard and speak your Why in the face of the enemy.  You have made pledge, a vow, to your Why and you must refuse to let anyone cause you to doubt it.  Remember, you've made the shift in your life to go to the next level, you've taken ownership of your Why, and now your pledge to your Why is in place.  So, what's next?

Decision #4: Build Your Mastermind Team 

Your mastermind team is your support system.  They empower you to prosper in every area of your life no matter what obstacles stand in your way or the adversity that you face. Now, close your eyes and visualize who is on your mastermind team.  Does that image make you smile or does it cause you to realize why you are failing in various areas of your life?

If the people on your mastermind team do not add value you to your life and encourage you to go after your dreams, then it's time for a change.  An unmotivated, discouraging mastermind team will ruin your chances of ever achieving your ultimate Why in life.  These types of people are selfish and their motives are very different than yours. Fear will constantly consume you if you continue to allow these people to negatively affect your life.

What if you have no one in your closest circle of influence that you would ask to be on your mastermind team? Well, it's time for you to venture outside of that circle and meet some new people that have similar goals and dreams. The Lifestyle Freedom Club is the #1 success and motivation club in the world, and the members are motivated champions just like you!  Check out this amazing place to build your mastermind team at www.LifestyleFreedomClub.com.  No fear exists in this club! 

Decision #5: Create a Solid Foundation

When a house is built, a lot of time is spent laying the foundation.  If the foundation is not solid, then the house will eventually crumble.  Similarly, you cannot achieve your Why in life without a solid foundation of commitment.  Your Why will fall apart and become unachievable if you are not seriously committed. 

Imagine your commitment as the foundation of your Why house.  The windows are your daily action steps, the walls are your habits, the roof consists of your mastermind team, and so on.  Do you realize how easily this entire structure will fail if your commitment is shaky?  It might be stable for a while but it will eventually fall down around you.

You also strengthen your foundation by continuing to grow your roots deeper and deeper.  Your roots are developed by immersing yourself in personal development - listening to motivational CDs, reading inspirational books, etc.  Your belief in yourself and your ability to achieve your Why will skyrocket when you create that daily habit of learning.  As your belief builds, your roots grow and your foundation becomes more solid. 

I'm often asked if it's okay to take some time off.  When you stop your daily success habits and take a break from your personal development, cracks will start to develop in your foundation.  Even the slightest little crack will allow the weed of fear to sprout through and endanger your Why.  If you are truly committed to the achievement of your Why in life, then you should absolutely no desire to take a break from your success journey.

Now, let's recap...

Decision #1: Make the Shift
Decision #2: Take Ownership of Your Why
Decision #3: Make Your Pledge
Decision #4: Build Your Mastermind Team
Decision #5: Create a Solid Foundation

Now, it's your turn!  Take action today and make these five decisions to get rid of the fear that is haunting you and preventing you from going forward in life.  Don't let the enemy of fear win.  You are a Champion and you can defeat fear!

The Meaning of Abundance

We all want to enjoy life, have great relationships, achieve our goals and be loved. We subscribe to websites, read articles and books looking for the one answer that will give us everything we desire.

The truth is you already know at some level of your being...

Knowing the meaning of abundance can help clarify what you think you don't know and are still looking for. So what does abundance mean in relation to our desires? If you've been on the internet searching for how to attract abundance you must first understand what it is before you can attract it.

Abundance is not a thing it is a way of being. If I've lost anyone here let me explain further. Abundance is access to an infinite supply of energy. I say energy because everything is energy from your physical toys to your physical body. From your thoughts to your emotions.

With your present understanding of abundance and why you are reading this article ask yourself what type of abundance you are seeking. Are you seeking the real meaning of abundance to better understand and evolve or one of the following:

· If you are seeking material abundances such as more toys, a better house or more money then these can be obtained by following one way.

· If you are seeking relationship abundance such as more friends, better relationships in your personal or business life then these can be obtained by following one way.

· If you are seeking health abundance such as more energy, more weight loss success, more emotional breakthroughs then these can be obtained by following one way.

Everything we are seeking we already are. We are everything we desire. What most people won't or can't accept due to the previous programming is that everything we seek is outside of us. It's not. It's part of us.

You are seeking abundance in some form but you are looking in the wrong place or seeing it in the wrong perspective. You are made of energy as is everything on this planet and in the universe as we know it. We are all connected to each other energetically which explains why psychics read minds and telekinesis are possible. We haven't all developed our natural abilities because most of us can't or won't open ourselves to what we can really do. What we really are.

Abundance is your true nature. It is what you were created from. It is who you are now. Why you can't get what you want is because of what you think or believe daily. I can't stress this enough. We have been programmed with thoughts and feelings since the womb. We heard conversations of lack, violence, positivity, and hope. We have picked up and been programmed with these dialogues and they are part of us. But we now know how to turn all this negative, self-defeating energy into the energy we desire to have.

This is our new stage of evolution

The evolution we are experiencing right now sees people having massive shifts in lifestyle from poverty to wealth, from lives of taking to lives of giving and healings that seem miraculous.

These are not miracles. they are people who have shifted their perspective on how they view life and are now an energetic match to their true self. Their true self-being part of the abundance of the universe. We are all capable of making this match but the first step is opening your mind.

I love the quote by Thich Nhat Hanh

"For things to reveal themselves to us we need to be ready to abandon our views about them"

Abandon all preconceived beliefs and notions about how things are supposed to be and see them in a new light. Let situations and people reveal themselves to you and accept what is shown without judgment.

Your present thoughts and beliefs are forming your reality right now. Try the exercise of no mind or observation when your old thoughts creep into your mind. These are not the truth but conditioned patterns that are keeping you from your greatness, your abundance, your wholeness.

The energy from which you are created holds the abundance you desire. Accept the true nature of who you are and open up to your abundance. Abundance is being one with creation which is everything.

If what you are is everything then when we are seeking everything/abundance we are really seeking ourselves

We are really seeking wholeness, completeness and the connection to ourselves. We already have it. We just need to accept it as fact, know it and live by it.

You have been conditioned to disconnection from your wholeness. Reconnecting will take time and commitment so you must be willing to do what it takes.

Try these simple exercises:

• ·Visualize yourself in a boat on a river. Think about something you desire. Do negative thoughts or feelings occur? You are paddling upstream going against the flow of life - resistance, putting in effort
• Think something about the situation that makes you smile, happy or joyful. Your boat is now floating downstream without work in the easy flow of life - abundance
• Whenever one of your preconditioned thoughts comes into your head observe it without judgment. Just observe it until it disappears. This is the practice of observing the ridiculous. I find myself laughing at some of the still existing lies that come to the surface
• We believe we are right about everything. We are right about everything in our life but we don't know what's right for anyone else. If you tend toward correcting others just know that it's OK to believe what you want. No one has to agree with you. And vice versa.

These are just a few simple exercises to get you out of the flow of resistance and into the ease and flow of your true self.

The key to getting the abundance we desire is letting a whole new way of thinking and accepting ourselves and others to prevail. We are evolving and there are massive changes taking place. Your work is to integrate yourself into this new way of being. Everyone is responsible for doing their own work to achieve it.

You're on this site looking for answers. I did not seek you out and say you must think this way. Such is the way of the seeker. You cannot force your beliefs on others. When others seek answers they find you. Offer what you know to these seekers without the expectation that they must or will listen to you.

I hope this offers some clarity on your search for abundance.

Abundance comes from within not from without.
