I’ll fear for you…there, now that we’ve got that out of the way,
you don’t have to fear anymore, just let me know you want
me to fear for you, and I will, simple, right?
Remember how people always
seem to quote Franklin Roosevelt’s famous words here:
“All we have to fear, is; fear itself.” Well that’s a tragically
misquoted statement. Oh, he made it, alright, but if you look
at the entire speech, and the circumstances we were in; trust
me, F.D.R. knew only too well what fear would do to this country!
Fear is how you know that you are in a situation where the result
is going to be something beyond you.
Accept it
Deny it (Reject it)
Change it
So fear prepares you to “get after it,” and in decision making
that can sometimes be a very good thing, you may need to,
maybe you need clear perception about an attack upon
your ability to make decisions? Maybe you need to get
into offensive mode to take on the people who are manufacturing
such stuff?
Seriously consider that you cannot; not fear, anymore than you
cannot, breathe air- it is nearly autonomic, and there is a reason
for that which has to do with one of the most powerful drives
that exist in a human, the drive to live.
Fear is attached at the hip to this drive, so,
it happens nearly automatically, notice
I did say nearly, because, we have the split second of choice,
which Steven Covey discusses in his master work “The 7 Habits
of Highly Effective People.” In this masterwork Covey points
out that we aren’t a product of our glands, we can and should
make a choice.
Fear is more instantaneous, and therefore,
my sense is that while you might
be able to take a split second to really grasp
what is heading your way, you shouldn’t struggle
to control it as the Bear charges at you!
See the illustration there?
It’s not so much about control
as it is about understanding,
which occurs ahead of time.
