Top 5 Empowering Quotes on Fear
Babe Ruth - No... Buy This at Allposters.com 1. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt Fear is such a debilitating emotion, if left unchecked. It robs us of our ambition and hope. It renders our mind ineffective and saps us of our strength. Franklin D. Roosevelt is right, there is only one thing to fear and that is fear. While it is human to experience fear in life, that is not God’s plan for us. Be still, pray and meditate on God’s goodness and be open for your blessing to appear where fear once stood. The whole reason I built Inspiration Oasis is to create a place in cyberspace where people could go to find empowering uplifting thoughts to brighten their day. I hope you will visit my site whenever you need encouragement. 3. We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt Every seemingly negative event or situation in our life that triggers fear can actually be the stepping stone to a more developed inner strength, courage, and confidence. If you already experienced the pain of fear… demand your blessing in disguise to manifest by having the courage to face your fear and discover your strength. 4. Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. ~ Dale Carnegie Dale always has such practical and sound advice. If you have been shut down by fear and doubt, think of at least one step you can take right now to move yourself in the right direction. Keep this process up on a daily basis until you are no longer in a distressing place. 5. Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out.
Yes, if you struggle with fears – there is hope for you. With diligent effort you can educate yourself to develop hope, learn how to effectively seek out solutions and develop the courage to overcome your fears and live the life of your dreams. For more great quotes on Fear, click here.

Tools for Living an Inspired LifeSince this month has to do with fear, I am recommending the book Uncertainty: Turning Fear and Doubt into Fuel for Brilliance
by Jonathan Fields. Jonathan Fields knows the risks-and potential power-of uncertainty. He gave up a six-figure income as a lawyer to make $12 an hour as a personal trainer. Then, married with a 3-month old baby, he signed a lease to launch a yoga center in the heart of New York City. . . the day before 9/11. But he survived, and along the way he developed a fresh approach to transforming uncertainty, risk of loss, and exposure to judgment into catalysts for innovation, creation, and achievement. Buy this book to learn the necessary "tweaks" in your routines and mindset to be able to handle fear and uncertainty so you can become successful and fulfilled.
