Do It Afraid

I listen to a lot of Joyce Meyer podcasts and CD's to try and surround myself with positive affirmations. It's a bit tricky staying positive in this negative world so I consciously surround myself with positive affirmations.

One message that Joyce Meyer shared that I thought was profound was to Do It Afraid.
In my experience we are conditioned from young children to think before we do, analyze the situation, don't take risks, be cautious, you get the picture. I feel that fear is instilled in us at a young age.

If you walk in faith and you truly think it is from God we should not let our earthly fears get in the way even when the situation seems to defy logic.

Do It Afraid!!

Thanks. Agree that fear especially fear of failure keeps many from even beginning to attempt any endeavor that would lead them to success.

When you overcome the fear it seems so good.

Joyce Meyers is a really good. I have watched her a lot and read a lot of her books.

Thanks for sharing this post. We have to not let our fears control us and rule our lives.

Have a great day!

I always think of it this way: Courage is not the absence of fear; it's facing your fears and acting in the presence of them.

I'm not familiar with Joyce Meyers, but I may have to get that way!
