Is Fear Holding You Back

As you gotten to know me, you have probably noticed that personal development and education are very important to me. I believe that by not only studying the great works of famous motivators, but by taking action on what I have learned, I will become the best person I can become.

On yet another journey into to building my repertoire of my own greatness, I spent an afternoon listening to yet another fabulous teacher. The wonderful “Anthony Robbins”. If you are familiar with “Tony” you will recognize him one of the greatest motivators of modern time, and know that his teaching have helped to improve the lives of thousands throughout the world. Needless to say I am one of those people.

The topic of this particular audio was the fear of pain. As I listened I was struck with a moment of clarity. We all do thing in our life to “minimize pain and maximize pleasure.” We fear pain and we desire pleasure.

If we are honest with ourselves we know that fear is simply the invalidated expectation of something that we perceive may happen. We all experience fear, sometimes much of it is subconscious, other times we validate through an illusion that it is a reality.

So the expectation of fear controls us. The state of fear causes us so much pain that it becomes greater than the pleasure we will achieve if we take action. We are paralyzed by the illusion of fear and so remain in the pain of our current existence.

Let me give you an example:

Many of use see prosperity and abundance as a state of extreme pleasure. But, we fear the pain that we must go through to achieve this greatness. In this case although the opportunity I have presented you with may give you the life of our dreams, you are paralyzed by the fear of what you must do in order to be successful.

On the other hand we feel pain from the life we are currently living where we may lack abundance and prosperity. But the fact remains unless we come to feel more pain from the life we are currently living in, and it is greater than the fear of the pain we must go through to be successful, then we will remain in the first state.

So if you truly want to make your dreams a reality, you must learn to feel more pain from the state you do not want to be in, and feel great pleasure in the journey towards the state that you desire.

“Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is a freedom.” – Marilyn Ferguson

Are Your Dreams Just Dreams?

Last night I had an interesting dream. I dreamed that I made a difference in the world, that I helped thousands of people achieve greatness. But for me this was not just a dream. I know without a shadow of a doubt, that this is in fact my destiny.

So this brought me to wondering, when you dream about the things you wish to achieve, do they pass like a whisper in the night? Are they short lived, or long lasting? Do you adjust your dreams with the flavor of the month, or are you steadfast in your recognition of what is only fantasy and what you wish to become reality?

Lots of times we dream about a better life, about helping others, or changing our current situation. But sadly most people are unwilling to take the steps necessary to actually turn their dreams into reality. They waste their imagination on fantasy and do nothing to fulfill the greater purpose for which they were meant.

You are the only person who can decide to make reality out of what was once only a fantasy. Only you can take the steps to change your life. Only you can stop dreaming and start living.

So what are you willing to do to become the person that now is only a passing vision in a good nights sleep? What are you willing to do, to stop wishing and start living? What are you willing to do to take the situation you are currently in and make it better.

Think of people like Ghandi, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King. They were willing to do whatever it took to change the world to be a better place for us to live in. They also became inspirations to millions of people worldwide. Regular people with more than just big dreams. Regular people with the initiative to do whatever it took to take their purpose to the next level.

Will you step outside of your fantasy world, and make reality out of a simple dream? Or will you fold at the smallest inkling of fear? Ponder this question seriously, for within its’ answer lies your fate.


“Success, happiness, peace of mind and fulfillment--the most priceless of human treasures--are available to all among us, without exception, who make things happen--who make *good* things happen--in the world around them.” Joe Klock

The last week at Zrii has been nothing more than sensational. Some might be concerned about the recent events thinking this might mean the demise of the company. But that is exactly the opposite of what just happened. The poison is out and now Zrii will carry on with more strength than ever.

Jason Domingo, Kirby Zenger and Keith Fitzgerald, amoung others thought that their actions could take down one of the best companies ever in this industry. But their actions actually had the opposite effect. Bill Farley and Zrii are now in a position to move forward with the vision that was initially put in place by Bill and the Chopra Center.
