Spiritual Laws - What Is Holding You Back?

So, we have talked about JOY, we have talked about PURPOSE. The highest form of fulfillment is fulfilling your Duty, your Purpose.

"There is no hope of success for the person who does not have a central purpose,
or definite goal at which to aim. 98 out of every 100 of those whom I have
analyzed had no such aim. Perhaps this is the major cause of their failure.” –
Napoleon Hill

These 2 key elements can ensure you happiness and Success. There is a question to be answered then. What is Holding you back?

If you know what it will take to make you happy and successful, why are you not doing it?

The BIGGEST problem that I see in people is FEAR. Some call it a comfort zone. It is not comfortable being miserable and broke. I have been there and it is a disgusting existence.
As many names and faces as I wanted to paint it, it was FEAR! Under all of the misery in my life, it was FEAR. When we let FEAR control our life there is no life. When we take control of fear we take back our life and begin to live from Joy and Purpose.

You have an obligation to live a virtuous life and one of the Virtues is Courage. Courage does not have to mean that you must rescue a damsel in distress, or fight off the evil hordes, which are at the gate. You must have the courage to challenge your own fear and defeat the enemy within you. Fear is keeping you from everything you have ever wanted.

Successful people have Fear. They just don’t let it stop them.

“What about my mortgage?” (said in a whining voice)

“Would you sooner have a Life, or a Mortgage. So many people pick the mortgage.”
– T Harv Eker

A mortgage is an obligation. Obligations are just more FEAR’s. It is a ‘Should’ or a “Have-To”. It is just your Opinion. You have made up the fear. You have created the story in the ‘Soap Opera’ of your mind. Fear, is just the minds anticipation of some reaction to a story it has created.

I have a friend, who’s biggest fear is Public Speaking. Personally, I love speaking in public. Anyone can do, it is not hard. The fear, is just a made up story that has been created to protect this persons feelings of being criticized or from being judged by others. It does not make it right or wrong. It is just their story. That is all.

To conquer FEAR, we must stop running, turn and face the demon and figure what it will take to move around it, over it or through it. We must master our fear!

“Before we can Master an Enemy, we must know its name, its habits, and its place
of abode” – Napoleon Hill

Please re-read Chapter 15 of Think and Grow Rich – The Six Ghosts of Fear by Napoleon Hill. This topic alone can take months to analyze and move past. This is part of the personal development process.
