the 12 steo concept

0/5 ( ratings)

We are all told or have heard someone else being told, to believe in ourselves. Believe in yourself and you can do anything. Hollywood films blare this message at us time and time again. But as we age, many of us let go of that simple true concept. We stop believing it is true. We relegate that message to a pile in the back of our minds marked Juvenile or Fairy Tale or even Lies Our Parents Told Us. We tell ourselves that there are too many responsibilities, obligations and details to consider. Life isn’t that simple. Aren’t we just afraid? Can’t we all name a bad moment in our lives, which stopped us from believing in this dream of ourselves as capable of anything we set our minds to. We had a few bad experiences and we changed. We got scared and stopped reaching for our ideals, our dreams, and set ourselves on a path of just getting by. Perhaps we’re even spending a lot of time killing the dreamer in ourselves by listening to the voice of fear and sticking to a treadmill of destructive behaviour.

Yet think of anyone successful. If you peel back the glamour, the layers of shininess which seem to set them irrevocably apart from the rest of us, we will find that the one common denominator, the linking attribute, the essence of their driving force is faith. The successful have faith in themselves, they are connected to an eternal power which overrides the petty fears that plague and defeat so many of us. This book is about how to get in touch with that power, that ember inside us all. The twelve steps will gently wean us from our habit of nursing fear to a new habit of allowing eternal wisdom speak through and defrost our terror-frozen minds.
