                                                  "How to overcome Fear and Doubt"








On yesterday's posting I talked about fear, doubt, and other negative emotions. Therefore, in today posting (part II) I want to show you how to fight and eventually overcome Fear and Doubt. So, here are my top tips for how to defeat negative emotions once and for all.






1. Find God- This is my number one tip. If you don't know who GOD is then in my opinion you will have no eternal peace. You may have SOME courage or SOME happiness, but nothing will last. Something will happen and you will break-down or be broken-down. Therefore, find GOD. In the BIBLE, (Matthew 6:47-49) it says something like 47"Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: 48he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the flood burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49"But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the flood burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the destruction of that house was great."






2. Admit your fear and/or doubts- In the process of recovering, the first step usually is admitting your flaws and being open about them. Admitting your fears can help determine what plan of action to take and this way you can spiritually get guidance from first GOD, then family, and other resources about your fears.






3. Share your fears and thoughts with someone that you can trust- Parents, siblings, or a long-time best friend all can be a person that you can talk to. However, pick wisely because not everyone has your best interest in mind. However, finding someone to talk to can be good. You may not even feel comfortable talking about your personal situation. Therefore, another way is you can talk to others about their past affiliations and how they handle them. This may give you some insight into other ways to handle problems (disclaimers: not all advice is good, so be critical of who you choose and get only what you can out of the advice).





4. Make a decision- advancedlifeskills.com says make a decision. Once you define your dream or goal, decide that you want to live this kind of happy and satisfied life. This may seem basic but many people never decide and commit fully to their dream. They simply keep “thinking” about it. Or, when the first obstacle appears and they give up. Make a commitment to yourself. Right now is not the time to worry about how to make it happen, or how you are going to move through your challenges. Instead, plant the seed of your dream inside of you and you commit to loving this seed until the day you can harvest the fruits of your efforts.




Honor your commitment to self. No one can let you down more than you can. Make a commitment about what you want and stand strong in your commitment. Don’t let fear get in your way. No matter how challenging, how fearful, or overwhelming it may seem, decide you are going for it!  Why? For no other reason than because you want it. There are no should’s, have to’s, or weak choices. This is something you want for yourself and a choice you have made.




I also want to add that once you decided to be against fear and doubt. Once you have decided to not let fear be the leader of your life; keep that commitment. BUT HOW! You may asked? By being spiritually and mentally strong.






5. Positive Thinking- This is super critical in my opinion. When you think and dream positive things, positive things will happen. Never think negatively. So, always practice positive thinking and watch how your mindset and life dramatically change. For more read the book "The Power of Positive Thinking."





6. Be around positive people- Good and positive vibes go along way. Like how I always say, be around the "Right Group" of people. While, this does not only apply to staying out of trouble. It also means being around people who are positive. This makes life better, because their positivity will rub off on you and you all's surrounding. Miserable people makes life miserable, and rather you believe me or not; it will eventually make you miserable.






7. Find inner peace- Rather it means coming to truthful realization, healing old wounds, mediation, or finding a Church home. Find inner peace with life. Know that you are more than qualified to confidently "Do You." You are a intelligent and strong Brown Man; Let No One Ever (not even Yourself )Tell You Different.




In closing, Fear and Doubt will always try to shake you. But don't let it. Be like that house built on the ROCK, that can not be shaken during the storm.

FASFA

I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college. FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school.

Hi, my Brothers; I have not posted anything in a couple of days. I was going to write about something different today. However, I saw this video and I had to share it. The anger and outrage I have can not be calculated because this video is too outrageous to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJhIN0gUN30 The video link above will direct you to Youtube. Where it shows a video of four Young Brothers being harassed and thrown out of Walmart. It further shows one of the Young Brothers being arrested. They were not harassed and then arrested for Robbery or Theft; but for "JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOPPING TOO SLOW." Yes you heard me, for going to slow in the store. Now this I can't believe. Maybe something else will come out and show otherwise. However, if this was the Young Brothers only "behavior"; then this arrest and event is truly hard to believe. For anyone who has ever grown up in any city in the world, you know summer are boring. Now, ...
