areas that has plagued you for a while and hinder your life to where
it was totally causing havoc in many areas of your lives.In Part I I

people. We have also covered that you need to recognized that you have
fear in an area of your life and the possible causes of it. That's the
first step of knowing how to deal with a fear issue.People fear things
or situations that make them feel unsafe or unsure. For example lets
take for example a person's fear of deep water. Lets make it clear
though, there is a healthy fear. It's natural to feel fear of danger
zones. It's healthy to be cautious to remain safe in danger areas. An

and cause additional problems then the situation is. With fear of
danger by taking that fear and being cautious by being alert to the
dangers is being wise. One should however never get to the point of
allowing it to overtake you to being in bondage to it.I know of many
cases for example public speaking which can become a fear of
hindrance. How many can recall a time you had to give a report in
front of the class? The moment you heard of it, you started getting
nervous, planning on an excuse to get out of it. It may be a speech,
giving a report, or something else that gave you butterflies. What
happens people tend to avoid areas that causes fear. But this doesn't
help anyone overcome fear--in fact, it can be the reverse.Avoiding any
type of fear just enhances the situation causing the fear bondage to
be even stronger in your life. In cases of fear of hindrances-such as
these the best thing is to face your fear, take that step forward,
recognize that you can achieve it, you can do it. You will find once
you done it, it will get easier the second time and the more you do
the easier it gets.Don't be held captive to this fear, step out of the
comfort zone into the zone of building your confidence, self-esteem
and a more relax person.Another area that I would like to offer some

being concern. We should be concern about issues. But when we move
from concern to worrying ourselves sick, then we need to address it.To
overcome this issue, we need to surrender to what we cannot change.
Realize it's there and can't be change. Work out a plan of action, and
finally stop worrying. We need to change our prospective of our
thoughts.A big fear across the nation that has run rampant often
