Are you AFRAID of . . .YOU?

“Afraid of myself? Of course not.” But is this true? Is it possible the person you fear the most is YOU?
Do you:

Second guess yourself often, only to regret not going with your initial thought?
Prefer to make group decisions or act only after getting the approval of four or more people?
Rarely spend time alone except for when you go to sleep at night?
Avoid confrontations or unpleasant discussions because you cannot bare the disapproval of others?

If you answered yes to 3 or more of these questions, there is a STRONG possibility that you have a partial fear of self.

Ask yourself:

Why don’t I trust my thoughts and pursue them with 100% vigor? What am I waiting for?
Why do I have to have the approval of others versus acting on instinct? Where did I learn not to trust my gut feeling?
What thoughts would I face in my alone time that may prove detrimental? Why haven’t I addressed these feelings?
If I had a confrontation with someone that resulted in the end of our relationship, could it be for the best? Perhaps the confrontation was birthed from refusing to end what no longer served me.

The culprit could be the “good manners” you were taught in childhood or a traumatic event that made you question your self-worth. Whatever the cause, success and fulfillment will never be achieved if you fear yourself.

Elevation requires separation. Immediate action cannot always wait for the opinion of three or more. There are times where you will need to remove yourself from the noise and allow your inner compass to guide you. Timing is invaluable and there is a season for everything. While you second guess, procrastinate and rest on your laurels, someone else will take your ingenious thought and be the first on the market. God forbid!
