It can be life saving to have some fears and life alliterating to have other fears. Fears such as of smoking cigarettes and swimming to deep in the ocean can add years to your life while other fears such as not being able to speak in a crowd and fear of conflict can make you miss many milestones. HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHICH FEARS TO BATTLE AND WHICH FEARS YOU SHOULD KEEP? I use the following rational (below).
(1) Does the fear prohibit you from being the best you can be?
(2) Is your fear preventing you feel from truly helping those in need ?
(3) Does your fear control you or do you control it?
(4) Is this a fear that you’ve seen other conquer to their advantage?
(5) Does this fear cause you to distance yourself from a loved one?
(6) Is this fear based on a particular faith value or is something occult or superstitious based?
(7) Will you be proud of conquering this fear whether it initially works to your advantage or takes longer to see positive results?
