fears

It seemed to her everyone had too much self-protective pride to truly strip off down to their souls in front of their long-term partners. It was easier to pretend there was nothing more to know, to fall into an easygoing companionship. It was almost embarrassing to be truly intimate with your spouse; because how could you watch someone floss one minute, and the next minute share your deepest passion or tritest of fears? It was almost easier to talk about that sort of thing before you__ shared a bathroom and a bank account and argued over the packing of the dishwasher.

Mindless fear is greater than mindful fear.

Life is really simple. There are no complicated rules we must follow. There are no external forces, which dictate how we must lead our lives. There is no fate that prevents us from being who we want to be.We are the ones who often insist that life is complicated. Life is complex with its multidimensional nature. It is never complicated. All complications come from our fears, which we often choose to trust more than the voice of our hearts.

You are asking us to lie, Colonel?""I am asking you to omit. Surely, amidst the...the infinite gradations of human venality, that particular sin ranks low." The old man kneaded the folds of his throat. "What happened out there belongs out there. The jungle has it; let the jungle keep it...

One by one she slew her fears, and then planted a flower garden over their graves.

Fear is an emotion you control, not the other way around. We control fear when we let it go.

She felt trapped, but she didn't have to. The world is wide open and ready, waiting for us to escape this bubble and join it.

Replace a bad habit with a better one. Instead of trying to "break out of a habit", try to use the trigger or cue to initiate a different action. Find something better, healthier, to replace the habit. This will be a lot easier than trying to force yourself to do nothing when you feel very compelled to do something. Left unchecked this is why we often see one bad habit turning into another bad habit. Take charge by deciding ahead of time what you will replace with what. Keep track. Celebrate your victories. Strengthen and empower yourself. By repeatedly doing this over and over again you will weaken the association between the trigger/cue and the old habit. At the same time you will strengthen the association between the trigger/cue and the new habit. This is very important. Some people believe the solution is to try to avoid the trigger/cue, but avoidance does nothing to prepare you in the event you fall into that scenario accidentally. It's like preparing for the worst, not by being pessimistic, but by being proactive. The first step to change is believing it could be possible. The second is action. Inaction leads to chaos. It pays to be prepared. Believe you are strong! You are bigger than your problems and your fears.

Contrary to your negative thoughts and beliefs, you already have everything that it takes to be a winner in all your endeavors. So try not to let your fears and doubts force you to settle for something less.

Why pray and live in doubts and fears afterwards? Don't you trust God anymore?

It is only when you fail to control your fears through your thoughts and beliefs that they would start to control you.

The occasional or frequent arrivals of fearful and doubtful thoughts in your mind don't mean that you aren't stronger than your struggles, challenges and obstacles. You should never hesitate for a second to challenge and replace them with words of encouragement whenever they arise.

Fears and doubts are oceans that barely fail to capsize all dreams that dare to sail in them.

Fear is something we all feel, but some people allow theirs to grow stronger than their courage.

Your fears in life are only as fearful as you constantly interpret them to be.

Fear is absolutely nothing without its repeated acceptance in one's mind.

Half our fears arise from neglect of the Bible.
