THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN...

I got myself thinking after a conversation i had with someone close to me. In our conversation i realised how many people have missed the road, the person in question inclusive. Not too many possess the required ingrdients to venture into the unknown. Some are bewildered with their past experiences, some never even experienced anything but because their mind is so pre-occupied with so many "ifs", so they fail to take risk.

Well, one sure thing i know's that God himself took the risk to create us in His own image, do we say He didn't know what to become of man after creation, i'm very sure he knows the risks involved.
One thing that continually debare us from reaching our zenith point is fear and will continue to separate us from our glory the more we allow it.
Fear is that thief that steal away from us our self confidence. We loose balance and fail to achieve. Just like i was listening to one of pastor Chris teachings on the impact of the holy spirit on human body, he was talking about faith and made reference to how many have allowed the spirit of fear to dictate their life. It comes under disguise of "IFs"... What if this... What if that... What if what... Stuffs like that.
Fear would only stop us from achieving what we are suppose to, as such unproductive. Fear is seeing failure before action. Fear is doubt. Fear is impossibility.
If Abraham Lincoln was afraid, he wouldn't undertake all what he did despite failling consecutively for many years before eventually becoming the number one citizen of United States.
If the Wright brothers were afraid, we wouldn't have aircrafts today.
If Bill Gate was afraid, we wouldn't have witnessed so much technological advancement we today have.
If skyscrapers builders were afraid of height, they wouldn't have had them built.
If African fathers and heroes were afraid of death, we would still be enslaved by the so-called whites, probably.

Fear doesn't achieve anything but destruction. So build up your courage, be tenacious, say no to that crises staring you in the face. Believe nothing can stop you except yourself through fear. Go into that unknown journey with the mindset of a winner and even if you fail you would still be better off than not trying at all. Give no excuse in your life, take charge of your life be responsible to and for yourself and you will see yourself achieving the extraordinary. Everyone has his/her unique selling point (USP) which gives us no excuse to achieve. Discover this in you and use it to better your lots. Remember you have no reason not to succeed.
