Simple Exercise To Identify Your Hidden Fears
If you want to overcome and overpower fears that exist inside you, you have to first
take a look at your feelings and hidden emotions. After realizing your feelings
and emotions, you have to know how to manage them and finally correct or overcome
them. Given below is a simple exercise that will help you to achieve that. This
exercise will help you identify the conscious and sometimes sub-conscious (very
subtle) fears that lie inside you.
Choose an area of your life that you feel is negative and needs some improvement.
Now, ask yourself these three questions:
1. What do I really want, what is my aim and objective?
2. What obstacle/obstacles are stopping me from achieving my objectives?
3. What prevents me from dealing with or overcoming that obstacle?
For each fear that comes to you in response to the question no. 3, ask yourself the
following questions:
A. What is the worst that can happen, if what I fear occurs?
B. What is the best possible result for me and for others, if I do it even though
I feel afraid of doing it?
C. Keeping in front of you the answer to question B and comparing it with the answer
to question A will inspire you to overcome the fears that lie inside you.

Message for the day 20-01-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
True progress brings progress in others as much as for the self.
Projection: It is usually believed that self-progress and progress of others
are totally separate. It is believed that where there is thought for the progress
of the self, there is selfishness and there is no benefit for those around. In fact,
selfishness in an extreme form can also have a negative influence on those around.
Solution: In whatever we do we have to check and see if there is any benefit
for others along with whatever benefit we are getting. If there isn't we can check
to see if there is a better way of doing what we are doing which could have a positive
influence on at least one person. Then we will find ourselves benefitting doubly.
We will get the blessings from others along with the personal benefit we get.
