What it Takes from FEAR to COURAGE...

What’s holding you back? Is it people, the government, environment or just bad luck? The answer is NO to all of these. Although some things can distract, delay or detour you on your path to the idea, goal or #DREAM, they can never stop you completely or even force you to go backwards or into a downward spiral.

The only living thing that can do that to you is YOU! Yes! We are solely responsible for our decisions moving forward. We get #STUCK when we assume that there is something or someone that has put us into a cage. Nothing can put you into that cage or imprisonment except for your jailor called #FEAR. Fear does two things. It can protect you or it can be an excuse to #HIDE.

There are some reasonable situations when fear comes into play and you should pay attention. If there is a drooling grizzly bear coming your way, or an out of control car or person, or some freak of nature(hurricane) happening, then YES it is appropriate to acknowledge it as potentially life threatening & protect yourself accordingly. But we all know that 8 times out of 10 that you are not facing these situations daily or never will.

But we treat, creating a life that we truly want to experience as life threatening and it is not! It is certainly #EGO threatening and that’s good. We stop Growing when we stop exploring & trying out our selves in new things that we don’t know everything about. This is called discovering yourself & what you are capable of creating more of on this planet. Let your Lion out of the Cage of your #FEAR. It’s time for #CHANGE & to hunt for opportunities to create more personal freedom to do what you #LOVE, along the paths that we forge for ourselves. Its time to Chin Up #FiGHTERS, Cheers!

A Frog & its Fate...

THE FROG (in the boiling water) & ITS FATE
Do you know if you put a frog into a boiling water it doesn't immediately jumps out. The story I heard from #GourGopalDas. Oneday something happened to a certain frog which I want to share with you.

Put a frog into a vessel filled with water and start heating the water.. As the temperature of the water begins to rise, the frog adjust its body temperature accordingly.

The frog keeps adjusting its body temperature with the increasing temperature of the water.. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog cannot adjust anymore.. At this point the frog decides to jump out.

The frog tries to jump but it is unable to do so because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature..Very soon the frog dies.
What killed the frog?

......Think about it!

I know many of us will say the boiling water. But the truth is, the frog was killed by its own #inability to decide when to jump out when it had the strength to do so.

We all need to adjust with people & situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust & when we need to move on.. There are times when we need to face the situation & take appropriate actions as soon as possible.

LEARNINGS :
1. If you are currently in a job that is slowly stressing you, draining you, making you lose other opportunities and slowly killing you, get out before its too late to do anything for your life and finances.

2. If you are in relationship that is gradually making you uncomfortable, run while you still can, don't keep making excuses and trying hard to stay in that boiling water like the frog and then it gets too late.

3. If you are currently in anything that is gradually becoming uncomfortable, wait a while but don't stay when its getting worse.

If we allow people to pressurise us physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually or mentally they will continue to do so.

Let us decide when to jump! Let's jump while we still have the strength.

I want you to know that I always #LOVE you for reading my posts liking, commenting & sharing always. I have you all in the depths of my heart, #FiGHTER, cheers...... #Ushas
