Our world is filled with suffering people. Of course there is the obvious suffering of the those who do not have enough to eat, proper medical care and live with war and devastation. That is truly tragic, but it is not the kind of suffering that I mean. I mean the kind of suffering that cannot be overcome with a physical remedy like food, drink or other pleasure. It’s suffering that is born from fear of the unknown. The kind of fear that you cannot hide from, but you do your best to ignore. The fear that makes you wonder if you are really living the life that you want to live.
The truth is that most of us, myself included, have fallen into a trap where our thoughts and actions are driven by fear rather than hope. As a result, we suffer and cause others to suffer. There is plenty of evidence of this pain and suffering. Examples include the backlash to globalization, secular and religious cultural wars and a world filled with people that move from one fad to another attempting to fill a seemingly bottomless void in their lives.
We were meant for more than pain and suffering.
Causes of Fear
Lack of Knowledge - There is truth in an old saying that you fear what you do not understand. Many of us fear change because we do not understand the natural order of the universe and God. As a result, we fear plant closings, reorganizations and separations from loved ones.
Failure to Think for Ourselves - We allow daily pressures to rub us of our God given gift of free will. So we blindly submit ourselves to ideas and thoughts of an organization, party or 20-second sound bite on the evening news.
Lack of Understanding of Ourselves - Many of us go through the day completely unaware of ourselves and our reality. This results in a shallow life that lacks the deep soulful connections that make life worth living.
How to Overcome Fear
If you want to live a new life, you have to commit yourself to a journey that opens both your heart and your mind. You have to be willing to look honestly at yourself and recognize your good and bad traits. You’ll have learn to accept yourself as your are and commit yourself to personal growth.
Overcoming fear that you’ve lived with for so many years that it has become part of your normal thought process is not easy and will require dedication, perseverance and honesty.
