I thought then that the people and the environment were the really pain that I needed to get rid of fast to get the peace and happiness I needed in my life.

Then another season of life came, the college years , which wasn’t so different in terms of challenges posed. It came with its own issues that really pissed me off and made me wish I could become invisible and unreachable.

Then I joined the job market, the offices with the gossip, backbiting and running down of fellow colleagues. Even now , working on my own business , I still have to face difficult prospects and clients sometimes. I learnt to allow growing strong in the seasons of life.

These experience taught me- To be independent of the circumstances. Celebrate the seasons of life and be happy. Each season of life has its reasons and task .It also has personal development it can so in us if we allow it rather than fight that season of life.

I should have found a way to enjoy those years more than I did. I should have celebrated those years by making the best of every moment even without the applause and support of others.

If only I knew then that my peace and well being have very little to do with others but most to do with myself. It all about my out look to life , my faith in who God have made me to be and what He is working in me to become.

Nature gives us diverse seasons . There are the rainy , dry and harmattan . Also there are the winter,summer, fall, spring . Depending on the part of world one lives. These seasons depending on their effects and acuteness will require us to adjust in colours, dressing , mode/manner of activities.

Likewise there are different seasons of a man’s life . We must learn to adjust in colour, out looks to life, and manners to make the best of it.
Every season has the ability to challenge us and even propel us towards a particular direction but non is that strong that it can’t be worked through or around to achieve or retain what you so desire of life.

By the grace of Almighty God you can make every season of life beautiful both in you and about you.

Face it. Overcoming fears  is more of taking actions than of wishes. Why you are still struggling with overcoming fears  and making a positive change in respect to  that job that is killing your spirit and making you so miserable? Fear of  possible negative outcome.

You are sticking with that self-defeating job  because everyone including  your loved ones thinks that it is the safest thing to do and you lack the guts to appear “odd” .

You are probably trying  to  find solace  by playing up old feelings  and going back in time with those nostalgia- the  self pity , reminding  yourself  of all  you been through and consoling yourself  that your present situation is the best you can have .

You are probably thinking like this : Next year I will leave or make a change ; Let me try  and combine this work with something else to save enough to leave or make a change; I have to make enough money to cover cost incase of any eventuality; I am just complaining too much ,everyone is coping with the situation; A bird at hand is better than two in the bush ;    I am really working at overcoming fears  in me;

Holding on to this job is the right thing to do now , I  have so many responsibilities and can’t afford this risk; I can’t be so stupid as to leave a job if am not very sure of making enough money else where;  Need to have money always , it is too much risk running a business , what if money does not come as expected? The list is endless.

There will always be enough excuses to keep you under until you decide  to break off and take a step of faith.  It is in making  moves  that you overcome  fears.  If you find yourself in such job trap , it may require a change to another job that its conditions are harmonious with your  life.

It might be a case of leaving day job entirely and starting a business of your own. In my case , I knew I was done with day jobs. This move will go a long way to help overcoming fear  in you. And there is no better time than now.
All your cards don’t need to be perfect. The passion for the  realisation of  your vision and having  better options in life  should be  propelling enough to cause you  to take the necessary strides towards  overcoming  fear of  changes.

A deep conviction in your spirit that you  are in agreement with the will  of God for your life can really help in overcoming fears. This conviction will come as you seek the face of God  and confess His promise of guidance .   Isaiah 48:17 , “I am God, your God, who teaches you how to live right and well. I show you what to do, where to go.”

The first step to overcoming procrastination is to eliminate all the reasons and excuses for not taking immediate action—John L. Mason. Above also goes for overcoming fears.
The longer we take to act on God’s direction, the less clear it becomes —-John L. Mason .

The more you waste time not taking steps, the more likely the vision will appear unattainable or even stupid .
