Fear and moving forward

QUESTION: Masters, I feel that my potential is being delayed because of myself and my thoughts. I’m a young person and feel stuck because I don’t trust myself enough to move on. My question is what is the best way for me to move away from this fear? I want to follow through with my purpose, but something is always stopping me. I want to help others but I can’t even help myself. I found out that in a past life I had a similar issue. How can I move on and keep it from recurring?

ANSWER: One of the biggest fears a human faces is the fear of the unknown. People always seem to want to know what is coming and what will happen before they will venture out of their comfort zone. Even when a soul is extremely uncomfortable, such as being in an abusive situation, it will remain where it is-in the known-rather than chance the unknown and scurry to possible safety. Self- doubt, worthiness, and trust issues lead the list of causes. These lessons sometimes take many lifetimes to learn, as you have found out.

To move out of this fear (and the most prominent sign of all these lessons is fear) requires an awareness of who you really are. We refer to the fact that you are an eternal soul that is a piece of Source with the same powers and majesty. To stop the self-sabotage you must accept your nature. In this acceptance comes the power to know that there is nothing to fear.

The only thing stopping you from moving forward is your old belief system, placed in you by others. It says you are not good enough. Isn’t it time to leave that at home with your old childhood toys? You are as good, as worthy, and as powerful as every other soul in existence. Who would not trust in the creator, Source? Accept that you are a piece of Source; there is no one better to trust.

Once you learn your true nature you will not repeat this lesson again.
