Negative Emotion

The greatest opportunity cost in life that you and I will ever encounter is the negative emotion that has kept you and I bound. Once the negative emotion is removed there are no limits  to what you and I can achieve. 

The fear of lack of money.

  I have struggled with the fear of lack of money. This has caused me to do or not do certain things because  I felt I did not have enough money.  

There is no relationship between what you do or  do not own and the fear of lack of money. You can own 5 hotel chains and a car parking lot in front of the white house and be more fearful of the lack of money than the homeless man sleeping in your car parking lot.  This fear of lack of money will prevent you from being true to the dream or purpose that is truly you. You will be bound by this emotion and it will limit what you can achieve as long as you are bound by it. 

The fear of failure

I have struggled with the fear of failure in that I have doubted and still at times doubt to do what I feel to do due to the potential of it not working out.  

You can possess great abilities, but still fear you will fail in the dream or purpose that is truly you. You will be bound by this emotion and it will limit what you can achieve as long as you are bound by it. 

The fear of offending people. 

I have struggled with the fear of offending people and  have not said or done things because of this fear. 

You can be outwardly popular, but still fear you will be offending people. You will be bound by this emotion and it will limit what you can achieve as long as you are bound by it. 

The fear of rejection

I have struggled   trying to fit in and as a result have not said or done things in case people would reject me

You may or may not have friends, but still you feel you are rejected by people. You will be bound by this emotion and it will limit what you can achieve as long as you are bound by it. 

The fear of losing your job

 I have been scared about the potential to loose my job at times and this has meant that I have not spoken out or done certain things that I should have done. 

If you have a job, you may not want to loose it. You fear what you work mates and/ or your boss will think of you if you are truly yourself. You will be bound by this emotion and it will limit what you can achieve as long as you are bound by it. 

Psalm 27:1

 The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid?

If you currently have any fear in your life, the Lord is not the support in your life, you are.  

It is possible for you to start to trust God.  It is possible for you to know, that He is a God that has and is willing to provide all and everything you need in life. Of yourself you cannot know this, but God is willing and able to help you, otherwise there is no point in your life

Once you know God in your heart, rather than looking to yourself for money, acceptance, success etc, you will start to look to God.  

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

1 John 4: 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

Romans 15:33 The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

Psalm 29:11 The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace.

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace--as in all the congregations of the Lord's people.
