INSPIRATION FOR GREATNESS! (Part 3)

Hi Everyone,

We shall continue today on our earlier discussion.Follow me on this adventurous journey,you will enjoy it and trust me it will be fabulous experince.We are taking a closer meditative insightful look at the quote in part one of this series.
Yesterday, We established by the help of psychologists that FEAR is a natural emotional phonemenon common to all human beings in response to threat,danger or threat of pain.Anytime humanity faces threat or danger or uncertainty,the most likely response is FEAR.

Please my dear colleague in the school of life, there is absolutely no way on this planet that you won't experience FEAR.(this may be no news to you)There will never be a time when humanity will live free of fear.Why?You might want to ask me....
Here's the answer taught me in one of the tutorials of destiny:because there shall always be threat,danger and uncertainty.
As a Baby, before we took the first steps we feared-imagine with me the thoughts in the mind of a baby as he/she takes the first stepin learning to walk unaided(what if i fall down,what if the ground is not firm?........),but eventually we mastered it!Today as adults we run! because WE ACTED INSPITE OF OUR FEARS!
For corporate humanity to advance, all the champions of the previous generations had to cross this bridge!
Had they turned back in the face of threats, danger and uncertainty(which made them feel fear),humanity wont be here today.
Imagine if Thomas Edison had yielded his muscles to the ache and fatigue caused by succesive failures and massive threat and danger in his quest for the Electric Bulb?
It took him hundreds of attempts,many dissapointments and many failures,believe me each failure is painful!Each time he experimented, he wasn't sure!Yet HE REFUSED TO GIVE IN TO HIS FEARS!
For the Students of this great citadel of learning , We shall continue in the days to come......

But I leave you Today in this lecture with this lesson:

FEAR SHALL ALWAYS EXIST , COURAGE IS TO ACT INSPITE OF YOUR FEARS AND REFUSE TO TURN BACK!

See you soon

Your colleague In the School Of Life

Deoking!

My friend, make no mistakes about this fact:Life is not random nor stochastic.There are patterns and seasons,risks, events and triggers.For the Uninitiated,Untutored and Unlearned soul,this myriad could be confusing and hazy.This will only seem so, because you havent received training,learning, instruction and inspiration in your understanding', therefore the woeful results you might have been getting in THE SCHOOL OF LIFE!

In midst of the myriad of madness that life might seem to be, I dare to say that there is a method!
Make no mistakes my friends, there is method to Madness.Even Insanity has a Pattern!(I shall expanciate on this Furthermore In the Series).

In this series, we shall stand face to face, shoulder to shoulder with great men of times,seasons and generations past.
We Shall ask them Questions about their Quest!
We Shall drink from the fountain of their success and failure!
We Shall find out Why They failed When they did and Why they succeded when they did.
We Shall articulate these Lessons for our future.
We Shall understand together in these Master tutorials The secret Of the Masters.

I encourage you to follow me carefully.

EVERY TRUE MASTER OF ONE PHASE OF LIFE MUST BECOME A STUDENT OF THE NEXT PHASE TO GROW.
I am committed to learning!
Join In this trip as we continue the second part of the series "INSPIRATION FOR GREATNESS!"


In this second part of the series,

We shall take a closer look at some part of the quote above.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure....."

Everyone of Us at one time or the other have or will certainly experience fear.

The online wikipedia defines it thus "Fear is an emotional response to threats and danger. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of pain"

This definition by expert psycologists John B. Watson, Robert Plutchik, and Paul Ekman have suggested that fear is one of a small set of basic or innate emotions. This set also includes such emotions as joy, sadness, and anger(according to wikipedia).

Therefore, In the School Of Greatness,let it be undoubtedly clear in our minds that all rational normal Human Beings(certainly with emotions)will certainly experience fear at one point or the other in our journey to greatness.

Are you a human being?Are you really reading this?

If your dream would really be worth the while, if you really,trully desire any thing great on this planet, then YOU SHALL UNDOUBTEDLY EXPERIENCE FEAR.

If you dont have fear, it means you've been doing it before, you have experience at it(eg driving, eating, skiing, dancing etc).You are used it to now,but do you remember the first experience?There was adrenaline, there was anticipation, there was FEAR.

Therefore my friend, in this 1st tutorial, I welcome you to Class by saying

Welcome to the School of greatness!

Your fear qualifies you for the category of the Unusual.

We shall continue on this stride in the days to come!

I remain your fellow student in the classroom of destiny in this great Ivory Tower!

INSPIRATION FOR GREATNESS! (Part 1)

Hi, How are you today.

In the past few days, I have been meditating on this quote by Marianne Williamson.
Over the next few days, I shall expanciate on this beautiful thought by this great mind.
Please kindly join me on this wonderful journey.
Meanwhile think Critically on this.
For this is the first part of a great journey.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
