Okay but you might not like it...

Ever have someone press you for a response, when you didn't
want to give them one, you wanted to remain silent, and they
pressed you for it, until you just gave in and offered them
what you felt was an error on your part in saying it, after
all you wanted to stay silent? Ever have that one happen?

Recently one of my associates found himself in a rather
sticky spot, it was a political hot potato, into which
he stepped. He won't get to extricate himself from this
without some loss of personal power, and perhaps even
a few votes in the polls come time for people to
remember what he said. Thing is, he was pressed into
saying it by someone who was basically badgering him;
now, my sense is that you can avoid such, and one
of the cleverest ways to do so is at the end of this
writing; the sign of the cross.

It makes business people furious when you suggest
to them that God would be ahead of their every move,
having already known what they'd think up.
That frustrates them as they like to believe
that they have the ability to be
original, not realizing that the most original thing
that they could do as a business person is learn
the sign of the cross and use it- to put them into
an entirely different frame of mind when facing
opposition that is getting rough. Yes I know some
will say that this is naive, my only response to
that is:

Per Signum Crucsis (By The Sign of the Cross)
De Inimicsis Nostre (From our Enemies)
Libera Nos, Deus Noster (Deliver us, our God)
In Nomine Patris (In the name of the Father)
Et Filii (and of the Son)
Et Spiritus SAncti (and of the Holy Spirit)
Amen

Here is why you needn't FEAR

I'll fear for you...there, now that we've got that out of the way,
you don't have to fear anymore, just let me know you want
me to fear for you, and I will, simple, right?

Nope, it just isn't that simple is it,
because you know,
only you can fear
like you fear, nobody else will.
Which is challenging to the people who want so
badly to convince you that fear is bad
thing. Understand, fear is not bad, nor good,
it is, an emotion, but it has some interesting
byproducts which those who want
to tell you not to fear, fail to note.

Remember how people always
seem to quote Franklin Roosevelt's famous words here:
"All we have to fear, is; fear itself." Well that's a tragically
misquoted statement. Oh, he made it, alright, but if you look
at the entire speech, and the circumstances we were in; trust
me, F.D.R. knew only too well what fear would do to this country!

And it did, and we mobilized as no other nation in human history
has ever mobilized; and, we haven't recovered from that experience
to this day- that's actually an unfortunate truth of the inheritance of
those changes, they changed America, and at least for the foreseeable
future, America is still reeling from those days. Now back to fear...

Fear is how you know that you are in a situation where the result
is going to be something beyond you.

That's not necessarily bad, it is; just what it is, a result that you
couldn't possibly anticipate. But that doesn't mean bad, it can
mean, good, it can mean, you missed the whole deal, and your
feeling of fear was useless, there are literally three choices that
you get to make about any circumstance, you can---

Accept it
Deny it (Reject it)
Change it

So fear prepares you to "get after it," and in decision making
that can sometimes be a very good thing, you may need to,
maybe you need clear perception about an attack upon
your ability to make decisions? Maybe you need to get
into offensive mode to take on the people who are manufacturing
such stuff?

Fear also gets your body goin' - the Adrenal gland comes into
play and a very nice hormone, which is very powerful, called
Adrenaline, comes into play. This is the hormone where,
when a car was fixin' to fall on her baby, a mom just picked
it up! You have heard those sorts of stories, but the odd thing
is, they are true. Adrenaline is powerful; and, it can do bad
things to you if it isn't taken care of, which brings us back to
the unreal people who want you to buy into not fearing.

Seriously consider that you cannot; not fear, anymore than you
cannot, breathe air- it is nearly autonomic, and there is a reason
for that which has to do with one of the most powerful drives
that exist in a human, the drive to live.

Fear is attached at the hip to this drive, so,
it happens nearly automatically, notice
I did say nearly, because, we have the split second of choice,
which Steven Covey discusses in his master work "The 7 Habits
of Highly Effective People." In this masterwork Covey points
out that we aren't a product of our glands, we can and should
make a choice.

Will you let me take that one step up and say, yes
we do have a choice, but, we should be honest with ourselves
about fear, versus other emotions similar to fear?

Fear is more instantaneous, and therefore,
my sense is that while you might
be able to take a split second to really grasp
what is heading your way, you shouldn't struggle
to control it as the Bear charges at you!
See the illustration there?
It's not so much about control
as it is about understanding,
which occurs ahead of time.

This Seems Important-

Let me know what you think:
I'm thinking maybe there
is something to this?


Love to hear from you,
I know this is deep and
kinda shocking stuff...
but hey, let's get into it?
Let me know what'cha think?
