What drives your life? Anything can drive you in life, Rick Warren in his book “The Purpose Driven Life” highlighted things that could drive a person’s life, anger, fear, materialism, seeking other people’s approval, and fear. And the thought in my mind was “Which one of these drives my life?” Of course, Fear is no stranger to me.

Psychiatrists say we are born with only two innate fears, the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises, but approximately two thousand classified fears exist, how come? They are self-made, So fear like any other emotion can be made up or learned. Trust me, we are all afraid of something, the known, and the unknown.

The only ordained fear is the fear of God, not the kind that will freak you out or make you sick, we should unlearn all our self-made fears and fear God because in the fear of God, there is love and peace, it is not a kind of fear that punishes but saves. The fear of God is healthy.

So any other apart from the fear of God creeps into your life to cripple God’s purpose in your life and your dreams. Watch out to avoid unhealthy fears. You have control over your mind, control your fears. It is said that “fear exists only in your head”.
