Eva Bozimo: Don’t Let Fear Stop You from Fulfilling Your Destiny

Fear is something a lot of us struggle with. Some more than others, true, and it gets the best of us; but, fear is an illusion. It’s an emotion like any other, like love, compassion, etc. We just give it more power.

Fear is something we’ve created in our minds, and it’s not real. It’s a restriction of the mind. Fear is one the reasons most people don’t tap into their true potential. The fear of the unknown, judgement, the perception of others, criticism and leaving your comfort zone, but nothing great ever happens there, ever.

Fear can be used as a fuel; it should keep you up at night studying, should have you rehearsing your lines before speaking publicly, should make you research about a company before going for an interview. It is not your enemy, it’s your friend. What have you allowed fear to do in your life?

A lot of people stand on the edge of their greatness due to fear. “I have to wait till the right time.” “I have to lose this weight first.” “I have to get enough money first.” We feel we have forever, but in reality, all we really have is now.

No matter how little support or resources you have, you can always start with it to pursue your God given passion. Once you’re in alignment with God’s plan, you’ll be shocked at the people who will drift toward you. These people are called destiny helpers.

Fear will have you rock back and forth in your head just so you don’t leap. Yes, you might fail; but,what if you soar? What if all you need is to take that first step and let the universe play its part. Optimists are five times more likely to fail and ten times more likely to succeed than pessimists and realists because, guess what, they aren’t scared of taking risks. The most successful people in the world today lose more money than the average earner, while the average earner might not lose but remains stagnant.

So whatever it is you feel you want to achieve, despite it seeming unattainable at the moment, you must first silence your mind. Make daily attempts toward it, then go conquer. A lot of times we are given a vision, but we procrastinate and stall because of the chattering in our mind that says we’re not ready or good enough, while our intuition and gut feeling requires us to act now.

Your brain is designed to keep you safe, to keep you complacent and comfortable, while your soul and intuition wants you to soar. Don’t dim your light because you’re scared. Instead, shine to the maximum, and if for any brief moment your light gets to someone in the midst of the darkness and they get to see themselves even for just a second, then you’ve achieved a lot.

When you realise that your vision has less to do with you and more to do with everyone that’s blessed to cross your path, you’ll take action right this minute. You are the author of your life; the pen is right in your hands. Why not make it a memorable one? Who sold us this dream that we have to be comfortable all the time? I don’t know about you, but I’d rather inconvenience myself so I can make my mark in this world and secure a great future for myself than be ordinary, because, guess what, darling, extra ordinary is where it’s at, and the bottom is way too crowded.
