LIFE FACTS-Tackling Fear

President Franklin Rooselvelt said "All we have to fear is fear itself." 

Overcoming fears forces us to learn and embracing risk-taking also helps you to overcome a fear of failure.

Think about your biggest goal. Why haven’t you accomplished it yet? If you’re like most people, the answer is basic: fear. 

Fear is the limiting factor stopping you from working toward what you really want. Fear distracts us and leads to excuses – but it doesn’t have to. Learning how to overcome fear is one of the most liberating pursuits you can undertake. 

It’s easy to pretend fear isn’t influencing you and to make excuses as to why you haven’t achieved what you’re capable of. Instead of turning around and hiding from it, treat fear as a cue to take action, not an excuse. Look at your goal. If you let fear chase you away from achieving it, then you’ve effectively given in.

This is why the path to overcoming fear includes acknowledging the fears and limiting beliefs holding you back. You’ve done the mental work: identifying the real reasons you’re holding yourself back and determining your must-haves in life. But overcoming fear requires that you practice these habits daily so they will lead to true action.

"Identify your problems, but give your power and energy to solutions.” Goal visualization is one of these solutions.

Everyone fails. Successful business owners. World leaders. Prominent chefs. Artists and scientists and doctors. 

Our society shies away from talking about failure, and instead celebrates successes; this creates the false impression that to be truly successful you must never fail. But part of overcoming fear is recognizing that everyone on the planet – including those you know and admire – has encountered failure on their path to greatness. 

The quicker you realize your fear of failure is preventing you from making the decision to accomplish your dreams, the sooner you’ll be able to accept the possibility of failing and move on.

How you respond to fear is what sets you apart from the rest of the crowd. Break through your own barriers. You can!

    Fear can be a torment. The key is to identify a healthy fear for self preservation from an unhealthy fear that stops one from doing what promptly needs to be done towards a great life and a better future. May God help us all.

Covid-19 Vaccines- Your Options

CDC recommends people not get J&J vaccine if Pfizer, Moderna are available. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky signed off on language that says the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are the "preferred" options over Johnson & Johnson's. People shouldn’t get the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine when the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna shots are available, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. The recommendation, from CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, came hours after members of the agency's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted in favor of the guidance. The panel convened following an update from the Food and Drug Administration on the risk of rare but potentially life-threatening blood clots linked to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.  At least 54 people in the U.S., most of them women, have been hospitalized by the blood clots, and nine people have died. "Today’s updated recommendation emphasizes CDC’s commitm...

Naomi Campbell holds baby daughter on cover of British Vogue. Supermodel Naomi Campbell is on the cover of the March 2022 issue of British Vogue holding her 9-month-old daughter. She also opens up on her drive as a young model in the industry. “We never said we were tired,” she says. Naomi announced becoming a mother on Instagram in May 2021, with a post of her daughter’s perfect, deliciously tiny feet in the palm of her manicured hand. Exact details around her arrival are unknown. When asked if she would elaborate, all she will confirm is, “She wasn’t adopted – she’s my child.” She is saving the rest of the details for her book, which she is yet to begin. She has also decided to keep her daughter’s name private. In fact, very few people even knew that she was planning parenthood: "I can count on one hand the number of people who knew that I was having her,” she admits. “But she is the biggest blessing I could ever imagine. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”
