The Sum of All Fears

The Sum of All Fears

The Sum of All Fears, a 2002 American spy thriller film, based on Tom Clancy's novel of the same name - is not the purpose of this entry.  The purpose of this entry is to address a constant nagging which exists within us, brought on by our own innate nature.  This element of our existence is known as doubt.  Doubt leads to fear, and fear leads to anxiety.  One of my favorite motivational videos calls out fear and how emotions can destroy you.  The video speaks of not being trapped by dogma, as stated by Steve Jobs.

Fear of failure can control you; your emotions can inhibit critical steps which are essential to growth.   We  should function in our authenticity; independent, standing out from the crowd. Did you know that it is a primal instinct to not be separated or ostracized from the tribe? If you subscribe to the evolution of the human mind, this makes sense.  However, I subscribe to overtaking fear... I subscribe to having drive, making each day count, pushing the status quo.   

Many of us have heard that stress can be debilitating; it can cause many types of health problems - and yet we allow it to control our lives.  Our very way of thinking and viewing of the world is marred by antagonistic stress. Migraines, hair loss, weight gain, impaired vision, etc. can all be attributed to stress.  Yet, we continue to push forward in our everyday lives with our priorities out of whack.  I ask you, without your health - what is it that you have?  Are you working for what truly matters and bringing meaning to your lives and others?  If you're not, then you still have time to change.  You still have time to let go of fear and tackle it right out of your psyche.  Fear kills dreams.  Emotions cause blindness and hatred causes illnesses.  Why let our own minds rule our lives?  

I say to you, "You're in control of your destiny.  Don't let the sum of all your fears outweigh your mission or your desire to lead a healthy, long existence.  Don't let comparison or envy steal your joy.  Live like you may never have another chance and put the focus on what truly matters - your health and your family.  Don't let fear and doubt, worry - take up residence in your mind and soul.  Kick it out and go after your future!  I know I am.  The sum of all my fears is not greater than the sum of my willpower.  With The Lord as my co-pilot, anything is possible.  He wants me (and you) to live life abundantly and with peace of mind.  Won't you join me in my walk?  Won't you take back the power you inherently possess within yourself?  I surely hope so, if not for you - but for those left in the wake of your legacy".
