Question Your Fears
Do you realise that suffering is optional?
Several years ago I was going through a major upheaval in my life
and most of the stress I was under was caused by my own fearful
thoughts and self doubt.
One thing I learned (the hard way!) is that if you have a wish or
a desire for something new and you start experiencing self-doubt
about your abilities, or fearful thoughts about the unknown, then
that is a sure sign that you are ready to move forward and take
your life to the next level.
Self-doubt is nothing more than a battle that goes on in your mind
when half of you is ready to grow and move forward and half of you
wants to desperately hold on to the status quo.
This inner battle is a result of our limiting beliefs - we may not think
we are good enough, smart enough, or brave enough - and these
beliefs surface through our ego mind to protect us.
Unfortunately, even though our mind is trying to protect us it is
also stopping us from creating the life we want. The ego side of
our mind tries to keep everything the same because we are within
our comfort level.
Where we are now is the end result of our previous growth and
knowledge, but in order to move forward we must move through
the fear and the self-doubt.
As Einstein once said, "We can't solve problems by using the same
kind of thinking we used when we created them."
So how can we move through the fear and self-doubt?
I discovered that when I believed what my mind tried to tell me, I
suffered, I was fearful, I was concerned. But that when I didn't
believe them, I didn't suffer, and this is true for every human being.
I simply started questioning the fear and the self-doubt until I
had exhausted every argument. Our fears and worries are not real
in the world around us - they only live in our minds. And we have
the ability to change our minds whenever we want.
Instead of desperately trying to change the world to match our
thoughts about how things should be, by questioning these thoughts
we can release the fear and self-doubt.
Freedom is as simple as that.

Hi Karen, I could not agree more. My story is this...
2 days ago unbeknownst to me I was let go of my position at my place of work. I had done nothing wrong, I excelled at what I did and improved the status quo of the company which made everyone's life easier and more relaxed. I was informed from a VP that I had been promoted so essentially I and my boss would become equals. I do not believe this news was received well with this person(my current boss). I was going about my day on July 15 when my boss (my promotion had not been taken into effect yet) came along and told me that the company had decided to let me go. When I inquired as to why they were letting me go I was informed that my skills were not up to par and that I did not have sufficient experience. Since this occurring I have found out that my boss lied to some of our managers to make this happen. By the way I have been in the same line of work for the past 7 years (accounting). I had very little time to examine what was going on as it was occurring.
A few moments after this occurred I looked at some websites for job positings, and I saw a job that had been posted exactly to my qualifications, better money, more opportunity. It was posted through a placement agency, when I spoke to them about the position I was informed that the job had been delayed and put on hold and it was recently reopened because they were finally ready to apply the skills of a cost accountant for this role! Coincidence? I think not... because a week prior to this happening I had requested and meditated on finding a job that I would welcome with open arms, was challenging and promoted environmentally friendly practices to make the world a better place. This position has all of these qualifications!
Long story short, would I have remained in fear of keeping my status quo I would have fought my dismissal and tried to get back in with the old company, and suffered stress and tension of never knowing if someone is thinking of firing you, watching over your shoulder, the negative list goes on and on!
I chose to face the fear of trusting my higher self being connected to the universe and it guided me through a path of least resistance to something bigger and better, and where I could serve larger purpose and assist people, different industries, as well as mother nature! This is one of the coolest stories that I can think of when we choose to face our fears we prevail and we are guided into new and exciting directions that we just never know what's next but we know that we are at one with the universe, love, light and being and we can never do anything but prosper in abundance of unlimited health, wealth and knowledge. That's my two cent's thank you for letting me share my story.
Namaste,
Indigo
