Read through the following three fears and the possible negative beliefs behind them. See if you can relate.
1. Fear: I won’t have enough money to support myself.
Negative beliefs:
I’m not smart or talented enough.
Nothing ever works out for me.
There aren’t any good jobs left.
There’s not enough to go around.
2. Fear: I’ll always be alone
Negative beliefs:
I’m unlovable.
I’m not thin enough.
Nobody cares about me.
I’m not pretty/handsome enough.
All the good people are taken.
3. Fear: I don’t measure up.

Our fears create our reality. If you think you won’t have enough, you never will. If you think that you’re not lovable, others will support your belief. And if you think you don’t measure up, you’ll always feel inferior.
You have the power to invent a bold life. Canadian author and pastor, Basil King said, “When you live boldly you summon mighty forces.”
10 Steps to Summon Mighty Forces:
1. Reinvent your reality.
You create the world that you see with your belief system. Choose to surrender your old beliefs and invent new ones.
2. Decide what kind of life you want.
Get an image of it in your mind. Write down affirmations to support your new vision. Hold your vision. Never let go.
3. Map out a strategy.
Decide what steps will take you to your dream. Give up what will get in the way. Take action.
4. Make new friends.
Reach out to the people that will support your new beliefs and challenge your limits. If you get rejected, try again. On the other side of rejection is a life-long friend.
5. Make a commitment.
Be willing to do what it takes. Every day, do your three most important tasks first. Track your time. Keep moving forward.
6. Prepare for the best.
Do what it takes. Wake up early. Focus. Do your best work. Ask for support. Surrender perfection. Plan to have a happy ending.
7. Challenge yourself.
Take a risk. Don’t avoid what’s difficult. Do something different. Put yourself out there. Walk on the edge.
8. You are OK.
Bring to mind your past successes. Remind yourself of your strengths.Bring up the “feelings” that came with your previous accomplishments. Sit in the “after-glow” in advance.
9. Be grateful in advance.
Write a letter in your journal and thank your friends and colleagues, in advance, for helping you accomplish your goal.
10. Manipulate your mind.
Learn to shift your perception when you catch yourself in doubt and fear. See your future through new lenses. Choose to believe that the best is yet to come. Look around and notice good things happening everywhere.
If you live in a world of fear and scarcity you’ll attract more fear and scarcity. Choose to invent a new reality. Make it one of possibility, miracles and love. I’ll meet you there!
