Affirmation for December 1st, 2011: Harness Your Fear

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.- Mark TwainFear is not something to fear (itself) - it's something to harness. If you want something bad enough, it's only natural to sometimes harbor a certain fear of failure. But it's important to realize that fear's most powerful weapon is to keep you from even getting started. Once you've taken the initiative to get going on your goals, on your own, you've take your first stand against your fear of failure, and you should begin to believe in your success more and more with each new step you take toward your accomplishment. Fears can be great motivators, or they can be great inhibitors. Their effect on you is a choice if you know how to control them. Choose wisely.
Have a wonderful day!
