Fighting fear. I can give you bags and bags of fuel, you can collect it by the bag full yourself, you can grow it by the ton but of what use is it if you are too afraid to get into the car and drive? So the next piece in the jigsaw is fighting the fear that stops you from getting out onto the road. Notice the things that others will not or cannot do, these are what you need to do. Notice the path that others feel is unreasonably hard; this should be the path you take. Check out the work ethic that the majority feel too demanding, take on this work ethic and more. On the road less traveled there are no seasons; we dont do less because its a bit cold, or a bit hot, because it rains, or because the snow is falling. No seasons, just a progressive work ethic. If you want more than the rest then work harder than the rest and face the things that the rest are afraid to face. Get angry with yourself when that negative voice tells you that the road is hard, get mad and get on with the journey, remind yourself that is has to be hard, it has to be a difficult road, if it isnt you will not grow. Discomfort is a sign of growth, knowing that this is a truth can bring great solace, it will allow you to be comfortable in your discomfort. This is also where you will acquire secondary energy because each time you face a fear and step into adversity your self-esteem (an energy gift from the super ego, your internal parent) will grow, and each time you get a success behind you, you become more confident of overcoming the next hurdle. In the end, with a series of successes littering your trail, you start to understand and believe that there is nothing you cannot do, nothing you cannot achieve, no place you cannot go, no one you cannot become. Your belief system expands to previously unthinkable perimeters. Every time you overcome a new obstacle you metamorphose, you become a brand new person, you become bigger, like the lobster you grow into a new and bigger shell which you will eventually also crack to reform another and another and yet another. Dont be a crab stuck in the fishermans basket believing the prison to be a home. Dont pull others back when they want to escape the basket and dont be pulled back by the other crabs yourself. If you want to be great then think great, and act great then youll be great. Geoff Thompson
