Fear, The Silent Killer

So you are in a panic. Your breathing increases, your heart starts racing...you can't think of just one thing because your mind is racing a million miles a minute with no sign of stopping.



Ever been there?

Maybe you are there right now.

What if I told you that I understand. What if I told you that I knew the antidote and that I had a solution?

******Now, I am not speaking of situations where you are in danger. If you are in a situation where you are fearful for your life, get out of that situation as quickly as possible. Get to safety.*******

With that said, if the above is not your situation, then please, read on.

I have found myself in a panic before, sometimes for NO REASON AT ALL. For instance, I am in a grocery store shopping. All of the sudden, I would feel a sudden panic. I found it hard to breathe and I had to fight the urge to just leave.

Or, like one time that I was at a church and someone asked me to speak on a microphone and tell about the great things that had happened at a recent youth camp where I was there as a youth leader. I am surprised that I did not just FLAT pass out from panic.

Can you relate?

At a job interview. Maybe the panic begins in the car on the way there and just escalates all the way up into the interview room. Can they see the redness rising from your neck and utterly filling every inch of your face space? LOL

Okay, so we get the picture. NOW how do you fix it?

It is easy, but not necessarily a quick fix. I have seen it all change around in a month or so, sometimes sooner. But sometimes longer. One thing that I CAN promise is that it will change. It will stop. You will be okay and be able to live a fear free life.

Here is how to do it.

#1. Know who you are.
#2. Know your worth.
#3. Know your purpose.

Thats it. The BEST way that I know how to do that...is for you to read this. I did not write this....but there is no need for me to rewrite it. It is already PERFECTLY written. Every word is true. And every word of it works.

Take the five minutes. Then pass this on to your friends, family, and anyone else you can think of. Let me know how it goes.
