Fear of "The Unknown"

What is "The Unknown?"

I believe it to be something unfamiliar; something you are uneducated about or have no knowledge of.

Now let's apply this to our daily lives.

Well, let's see, we get up in the morning, get ready to go to the Just Over Broke (many of us anyway), get ready to exercise, get the kids ready, or whatever your daily routine entails, right?

We go about our normal routines "not knowing" about our next breath, the next second, the next minute, the next hour, tomorrow nor our futures. We either live or die, pretty much, in the literal sense of the words. This is something we can't control.

Although there are people dying EVERY SINGLE DAY in other war-infested countries, that is reported on the news EVERY SINGLE DAY, we still go about our normal routines. A bomb could drop on us at any given moment or some suicide bomber can walk into a shop we just happen to be in...but we still go out. It's unknown what can happen, but we still do what we do, right?

So, what's the hold up with pursuing your dreams? Fear of failure? Fear of success? Fear of rejection? Fear of embarrasment? As I've demonstrated the only true unknowns are whether we'll live or die at any given moment, yet, we keep on living until that fateful time arrives, again something we can't control. How will you know something will work or won't work unless you try it first anyway?

You CAN control how you WANT to LIVE. One of my mottos is "Stop chasing your dreams...start LIVING them." Go after your desires for music success, whatever those may be. Focus on the things you want and NOT the things you don't want. Why waste time on thoughts of things you don't want, anyway? Place that energy in activities that propel your dreams, not kill them.

Here is one quote I'd like to share with you today, mysteriously appearing after I decided what I was going to share with you...coincidence? I think not...

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face... You must do the thing which you think you cannot do."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt

Remember FEAR is only False Evidence Appearing Real, it's not real until you feel it, so again, why would you want to feel something uncomfortable, something that truly holds us back from accomplishing the extraordinary things we imagine for ourselves? Why think or focus on things you don't want?

I bid you blessings of abundance, safety and happiness. Dispel the myth of Fear! Make success a KNOWN accomplishment for yourself and the world!

Have a wonderful and productive day :-)
