Upgrade Your Life

“Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are your own fears.”-Rudyard Kipling

We live in an age of anxiety, an age of uncertainty, and an age of fear. We are fearful of the housing market, fearful of the job market, fearful of inflation, fearful of our leaders, fearful of our bosses, fearful of the future, and fearful of the unknown. We are afraid of taking chances, afraid of standing out, and afraid of failing. This echoes the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson who wrote in Self-Reliance:

“We are afraid of truth, afraid of fortune, afraid of death and afraid of each other. Our age yields no great and perfect persons.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Not much has changed since Emerson wrote those words, except that society has become more fearful and weaker. And the greatest fear the modern individual faces?

The fear of actually succeeding in our endeavors! The fear of becoming something more than we currently are.

Yes!

We are fearful of what we can become! The possibilities of success that await us! The realization that our inner fantasies will become outer realities!

We are afraid of our own greatness!
