Why do a lot of people live in fear? The answer to this question is something that we must all know if we desire to courageously walk through the journey of life happily and successfully. If we don’t clearly understand why many of us live in fear, how then could we learn to be courageous and increase the quality of our lives. The truth to it all is that fear is a product of the mind. Our feelings and emotions are controlled by the thoughts that frequently dwell in our minds. Our core beliefs in life will always determine how we feel about our experiences if our beliefs remain unchanged. However, understanding that we were all created to be greater than all our trials and tribulations is highly necessary when it comes to us being able to consistently achieve and maintain our positive mental strength, happiness and success. Not acknowledging God’s guidance and protection in one’s life can definitely cause one to become very fearful of one’s negative conditions and future uncertainties. Believing that you are in the journey of your life alone with no positive superior power looking over you at all times, could surely drive you to live in an unnecessary state of fear. There is such an unstoppable positive feeling that comes with knowing that God is with you at all times and will never leave you behind in times of adversities. It’s a feeling that’s so strong that you could always envision beyond every struggle, challenge, or obstacle in your life to see the reward that lie at the very end of it as your prize for persevering. Fear is the enemy of your priceless blessings on earth, and you should always choose courage over fear if you wish to protect your God’s given destiny. Fear only comes into your life to steal your happiness, abilities and capabilities; so why dare to welcome it and grant it shelter in your mind?
