Fear No Evil! Conquer Your Demons!

Thoughts become things. You’ve probably heard this phrase before and know why it became so popular. If not, then I won’t tell you because it’s a 'secret'. However, do you agree that the things you think about, like fear, are as real as you are? If you’ll ask me, I’d say, “hell yeah!”

Fact is, each day is like a battle for me because I’m always fighting. I’m fighting little infectious creatures inside my head which other people oftentimes call demons. These demons are as real as anything can be because they affect my actions. Therefore, one certainly needs to guard his greatest ally, the mind, from thoughts that create fear all the time and I think you’ll agree with me on that.

To protect myself from my mental enemies, I carry weapons with me all the time - weapons that kill negative thoughts but create peace of mind. I want to share them with you so that you have something to use when you fight your own demons. To conquer fear, just remember these simple reminders.

• The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. It’s all in your mind.
• The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
• Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
• If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, then there is nothing to worry about.
• The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
• Ignorance leads to fear. Knowledge leads to power.
• Men are moved by two levers only: fear and self interest.
• Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.
• The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.
• Fear is the foundation of most governments.

• Dislike evil, feel tranquil, listen to good teachings, and you will be free of fear.
• Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.
• He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.
• If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.
• Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.
• There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
• In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
• Know what not to fear and you will have courage.
• It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

Remember, your greatest enemy is not what you fear. It is fear itself. You don’t have to go out of your mind when things go wrong or out of control. Life may be like fighting a war, but if you nurture courage, you will be able to conquer all your fears.
