Last week a student
came to me with a problem stating that he is very frightened, and feels
paralyzed with fear. He is unable to focus and concentrate on the subjects. I
tried to explore the underlying reasons and I found that he has been spending
too much of time convincing himself that he is useless, he is not worth and will not succeed in his exams.
As a result too much of
negative thinking has led him to a state of insecurity, fear and anxiety. The
fear has created a mountain for him.
There is another
student who did have concentration issues to deal with, and he was helped to
deal with this thinking pattern; he was encouraged and appreciated to look at
all the positive aspects of his life. The result is that he topped the class.
The faith that we instill in ourselves and others will definitely help us move
mountains. What are we nurturing in our minds every day in our lives is very important?
“Two great forces in the world are more important
than all the others. One is faith and the other is fear and faith is stronger
than fear.” Norman Vincent Peale
May you be guided with faith!
Faith helps you overcoming your fears :)

ReplyDeleteMy father taught me: "FEED YOUR FAITH - OR FEED YOUR FEAR" Whichever one you choose to feed will grow. The one you don't feed will die.
