It is said that fear is the greatest enemy of Man.
Fear is behind failure,sickness and poor human relations.Millions of people are afraid of the past,the future, old age,insanity and death.Fear is a thought in your mind and you are afraid of your own thoughts.
A little boy can be paralyzed with fear when he is told there is a boogie man under his bed who is going to take him away.When his father turns on the light and shows him there is no boogie man, he is freed from fear.The fear in his mind was as real as if there really was a boogie man there.He was healed of a false thought in his mind.The thing he feared did not exist. Likewise,most of your fears have no reality.They are merely a conglomeration of sinister shadows and shadows have no reality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, philosopher and poet, said,"Do the thing you are afraid to do, and the death of fear is certain."
When you affirm positively that you are going to master your fears, and you come to a definite decision in your conscious mind, you release the power of the subconscious, which flows in response to the nature of your thought.
