Living a FEARLESS LIFE + 6 minutes with Robert Green
IGNORANCE IS YOUR ENEMY
"Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." - Yoda
Sun Tzu, Author of the Art of War said "If you know yourself, and you know your enemy, you need not fear a thousand battles." Let's take this thought a little further, when we are ignorant to who we are, we open ourselves to a life of misery on an uncomfortable bed of fear. No matter how much you accumulate, you will not be free.
Knowing yourself is about knowing your nature, what you stand for, what kind of work comes naturally to you and what brings you joy. Not knowing the answers to these questions makes you ignorant to the most important of all quests in life and that is to know who you are. If you are are worried about your future, perhaps unsure about what career to follow or are stuck in the past, then you need to dive deep to gain the knowledge for freedom. The successful find absolute clarity in purpose and meaning in in what they do, and they learn to regulate their mind and senses to serve them to grow rather being pulled into a life of addiction, worry and misery.
Isolation, lockdowns, loss of your liberty to work and live the way you have been used to can be very testing for many people. It also brings about a great opportunity to find out what you are made from (your strengths and weaknesses). Now more than ever, self-insight and self-mastery must be developed and called for positivity and hope. It has never been as important as now to build on your moral platform so you can have absolute clarity in what you stand for, so you don't get pushed around by all the fear mongering. Now is not the time to be frazzled, disheartened or frightened into inaction but rather the time to grow!
The reality is that all of the change in our society can be scary, unpredictable and worrying. The threat of fines and jail time for doing things we have had the freedom to do pre Covid, like visiting loved ones can shake you. The fear mongering is on every TV and social media channel because people feed into it. It is absolute rubbish. Yes stay informed, be sensible but don't live your for the next update or it will eat your soul.
For those striving to stay on task, focused and working towards your goals, it can be downright frustrating to not have the freedom to get on with your life. So how do you stay on task, even become joyful in these crazy times? The answer is that you have to go within and gain self-mastery, gain control of your senses so you find good and positivity even in such testing times. I explain in detail in my book Rise Warrior Rise: Awaken Your Soul that it is easy to spiral into a world of misery unless you step out of the ignorance zone and learn about you and how to regulate your senses so can live in harmony and without fear, and I share with you a breath regulation technique to bring serenity and focus to your mind a little further down in this blog.
Everybody at some time in their lives gets caught up on a roller coaster of highs and lows, happiness and worry, success and failure and so on. Most people don't think twice about as they believe it is the norm. And yes it is the norm for those who don't understand the self and learn how to react so to such changes so you can still live as your best, happy self. It is like the change in seasons, they come and go and yet we continue to move forward. We are guaranteed of change so why not accept them and live successfully! If you choose to think that ignorance is bliss, let me assure you that it is no and no doubt you will be bashed around by the demons in your head. Knowledge is your power, so concern yourself with understanding who you are and finding mastery over your senses and all around you.
"Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones." - Thich Nhat Hanh
What is fear?
Fear has been described as a natural, powerful and primitive human emotion that involves a chemical responses within the body (essentially the fight or flight response), which is coupled with a strong emotional response.
Fear kills more dreams than anything else because it stops you from moving forward with enthusiasm to attack your goals. By now you may have worked out that fear is a huge barrier to joy and longevity, as fearful people are more inclined to develop blood pressure, insulin resistance, mental illness and so forth.
Fear makes you timid and weak as it erodes self-confidence.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."- Theodore Roosevelt

FEAR BREEDS REGRET
Too many people die with regrets because of all sorts of fear. Fear of rejection, fear of the unknown, fear of failure and so on. If this you, STOP! Replace your fear with steady determination to master your self. Before we dive into some of the Rise Warrior Rise: Awaken Your Soul ways to self-mastery, let me bring up the number one regret of the dying: 'I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, and not the life others expected of me'. So the big question for you is, 'ARE YOU LIVING A LIFE TRUE TO YOURSELF?
Manipulation, suspicion, timidness, and even bullying are some of the major bad effects that could reflect in your thinking and behaviour due to fear. Reflect now and see if you or anyone you know displays this behaviour. If it is you, then only you have the power to change things.
Living a fearlessly is liberating. It does not for a minute mean you are excused to be irresponsible or not care. On the contrary, it mean it's time to become dutiful to your true best self. Try to trust that all will turn out as they are meant as long as your go forward with determination.
THE SOLUTION ON HOW TO BECOME FEARLESS
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do." --Eleanor Roosevelt
It's time for determined action, start by removing all thoughts of gain and loss and ‘go all in’, back yourself and carry out your duty without being focused on the reward or what you may lose. This is an idea that was proposed first to me by my yogic master and has me wake up with enthusiasm each day in total faith that all will be as it is meant to be and every experience is helping me to grow. My purpose is clear and forward I take me steps with faith and belief so obstacles and highs do not detract me from my mission.
Nothing is forever except your soul so why fuss about things that pass away? A wise guru said to me once that everything I have today was once owned by someone else and will be owned by someone else when I pass away so why hold onto the things so tightly? He also went onto explain to me that I deserve abundance in all the positive ways and that we had it in us to live happy, opulent and vibrant lives, all we had to do is live as our best self and don't try to hold onto people and things too tightly.
I ask you to consider meditating on knowing that all will be ok in your life and live assured everything good will come to you at the right time. Napoleon Hill's research when writing Think and Grow Rick found that the key to unlimited success came to the subjects of his study who were the most powerful men at that time, because they had unshakeable faith that they were destined to live great lives and belief that that they have everything in them to make an extraordinary impact on society.
Go ahead, give yourself permission to become free from selfish attachments and do your duty with joy, faith and belief. Embrace solitude, use it to learn about you, to find your best-self and become free from fear to love life and grow from the great, no so good and the ugly. Success naturally follows the fearless. Muhammed Ali said "He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."
6 TIMES BEST SELLING AUTHOR ROBERT GREENE
In this video I address how to become fearless and talk with the legendary author Robert Greene, author of 48 Laws of Power who shares stories of entrepreneur and rapper 50 Cent on how how he had to become insensitive to fear after he was shot nine times all over his body, including his legs, hands, arms, face and chest. He spent 13 days in hospital after which he said "Going through that experience, when you get hurt that bad either your fear consumes you or you become a bit insensitive to fear"
As a parting thought, remember that there is no happiness in life without peace and there is no peace without surrendering all your fears and desires; and believing that you deserve abundance and all will be ok. All you need to do is turn up happy and focused everyday and do your duty with vigour and with fear of winning or losing.
