Wakeland Words of Wisdom Adapted from “The Run for Freedom” - Joan E Wakeland-Taylor
Here are some suggestions that I have used to help conquer my fears:
1. Faith: Have Faith ..Trust God he knows best! Learn to “Trust the Process”!
- Ecclesiastes 10:10 NIV) states:
- “If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success” This is saying
- “Sharpen your ax”
- Yes, the Good Book is saying, Get mentors in the areas you are not strong! Not a mentor, Mentors! Sharpen your ax also means improving yourself!
- Attend the work shop that will give you the knowledge you now lack not only will you improve yourself but you will meet people with like mindset! Network with them!
2. Expectancy: Expect to get what you choose, if you choose fear you will always live in “Fearville “city, so choose to be successful then expect it! You can live in Success Heights! Yes you can! Spend less than you earn, Get Disciplined, it can help prevent the fear of lack!
3. Attitude & Action : Develop a good attitude, your life will be so much easier. Decide what you want, Prepare a Plan of Action, Practice, Practice, Practice to be good at whatever you choose to do. Then Execute! Be Passionate! Stay focused, be persistent - don’t quit! Use your time wisely, it cannot be recycled!
4. Responsibility & Respect: respect others and know that You are responsible for yourself! Don’t play the Blame Game! According to Zig Ziglar “It is Not Your Papa Dic Tate, Not your Mama Ro Tate, Not your Aunt Irri Tate or your Sister Agi Tate that cause you to be who you are. It’s the choices that you make! It’s all on you, so choose well my friend Check out GrandMa FaciLilly Tate she will help you Meditate! She will tell you to read the Good Book. It is the bottom line!
5. Watch your tongue, Be Positive! The words you speak go to the universe and you will be connected to those who can help you! Write the vision,make it plain! That helps to make fear irrelevant, do a vision board!
6. Stay focused!
7. Carpe Diem! Seize the Day! Expect a Miracle, and get out of your comfort zone. Nothing different is happening there but the same old shit, different day!
8. Change! Don’t do the same thing all the time and expect different results. That is insanity ! Change your mindset! How hungry are you? How determined are you to attain your Dreams? Dare to be Limitless, Dare to be unstoppable, I Dare you to be Fearless!
