fears
1. Do the thing you are afraid to do, and the death of fear is certain. Say
to yourself and mean it, “I am going to master this fear,” and you will.
2. Fear is a negative thought in your mind. Supplant it with a constructive
thought. Fear has killed millions. Confidence is greater than fear. Nothing
is more powerful than faith in God and the good.
3. Fear is man’s greatest enemy. It is behind failure, sickness and bad human relations. Love casts out fear. Love is an emotional attachment to the
good things in life. Fall in love with honesty, integrity, justice, good will
and success. Live in the joyous expectancy of the best, and invariably the
best will come to you.
4. Counteract the fear suggestions with the opposite, such as “I sing
beautifully; I am poised, serene and calm.” It will pay fabulous dividends.
5. Fear is behind amnesia at oral and written examination time. You can
overcome this by affirming frequently, “I have a perfect memory for everything I need to know,” or you can imagine a friend congratulating you
on your brilliant success on the examination. Persevere and you will win.
6. If you are afraid of the water, in your imagination swim freely and joyously. Project yourself into the water mentally. Feel the chill and thrill of
swimming across the pool. Make it vivid. As you do this subjectively, you
will be compelled to go into the water and conquer it. This is the law of
your mind. 7. If you are afraid of closed places, such as elevators, lecture halls etc.,
mentally ride in an elevator blessing all its parts and functions. You will be
amazed how quickly the fear will be dissipated.
8. You were born with only two fears, the fear of falling and the fear of
noise. All your other fears were acquired. Get rid of them.
9. Normal fear is good. Abnormal fear is very bad and destructive. To constantly indulge in fear thoughts results in abnormal fear, obsessions and
complexes. To fear something persistently causes a sense of panic and
terror.
10. You can overcome abnormal fear when you know the power of your
subconscious mind can change conditions and bring to pass the cherished
desires of your heart. Give your immediate attention and devotion to your
desire which is the opposite of your fear. This is the love that casts out
fear.
11. If you are afraid of failure, give your attention to success. If you are
afraid of sickness, dwell on your perfect health. If you are afraid of an accident, dwell on the guidance and protection from God. If you are afraid
of death, dwell on eternal life. God is life, and that is your life now.
12. The great law of substitution is the answer to fear. Whatever you fear
has its solution in the form of your desire. If you are sick, you desire
health. If you are in the prison of fear, you desire freedom. Expect the
good. Mentally concentrate on the good, and know that your subconscious
mind answers you always. It never fails.
13. The things you fear do not really exist except as thoughts in your
mind. Thoughts are creative. This is why Job said, The thing I feared has
come upon me. Think good and good follows.
14. Look at your fears; hold them up to the light of reason. Learn to laugh
at your fears. That is the best medicine.
15. Nothing can disturb you but your own thought. The suggestions,
statements, or threats of other persons have no power. The power is within you, and when your thoughts are focused on that which is good, then
God’s power is with your thoughts of good. There is only one creative
power, and it moves as harmony. There are no divisions or quarrels in it.
Its source is love. This is why God’s power is with your thoughts of good.
