One of the most common mistakes people make in attempting to handle their fear is to look at it as an enemy.  While it is certainly true that fear can subject you to a litany of discomforts, which could lead to serious health issues and even death if left unintended and allowed to fester, fear is truly nothing more than energy.

The energy of emotion begins as a single atom, just as any other energy begins.  How it is shaped and where it goes is up to its shaper.  The shaper, often times, is our self.  As we fill the emotion with more energy, it becomes stronger and more defined.  Fear is the easiest to shape as it has so many others assisting in the molding the face of fear that it takes on the definition of the current mindset or trend.

Fear takes on the persona of a national pastime and becomes the emotion of choice for so many of us. We become almost addicted to its beckoning, tantalizing adrenaline rush.  And yet we know it is not good for us so we attempt to conquer its influence over us.  This becomes extremely difficult to do as the media and other image making devices keep the object of our fear shoved into our faces in all types of ways.

As we attempt to conquer fear, it gets stronger in the midst of our fighting fire with fire.  And we cannot win when we meet fear on its own playground.

Imagine what would happen, instead, that we emerge our fear in love, by elevating the energy up from the pit of our stomach and changing its compound make up so that it returns once again to the basic energy source it originally was.  It would then become putty in our hands.

How do you conquer fear?  You don’t.  You change it instead.

Are you ready to transform your fear?
