‘Fear Exists To Glorify Courage’

''Fear exists to glorify courage. A timid man exists to glorify a courageous man. There will be no value for goodness if badness does not exist. One side of a thing cannot have signifcance without the existence of the other side. Hence everything in this world has two side.''- Swami Sivananda

Fear is not here to get you, but to test you.

Fear is real, but do not give in to it. It is not here to harm you, but to test your faith. Fear is not your enemy. It is your teacher. It is your mentor. 
Fear is here to glorify your courage, your struggles, your efforts, your fight, your love.

When you face your fear, you have a choice to make. Are you going to keep going, or are you going to pack your things and move back home? 
The choice is yours.

But if your dreams are yours, then you have got to do whatever it takes to achieve them. If they are not, then don't worry yourself. Don't fight for them. 
If you want to test yourself, you must follow your own dreams. You must do your work. And you must face your fears. If not, you are not going to succeed.

3 Practical Ways To Raise Your Spiritual Connection

If you are ready to raise your spiritual connection, to awaken your spititual life, you must change how you see yourself.

Before we continue, let us see what ‘spirituality’ really is. According to Anthony de Mello, “Spirituality means waking up.” It means you are alive. It means you are awake. It means you are in charge of your life. It means you know what you want, what you are doing, and where you are going.

To raise your spiritual connection, here is how to do it:

Accept yourself

What does self-acceptance really mean? It means self-love. Yes. It is more than that. Kyle Gray says, “Acceptance is the spiritual art of acknowledging your true self. It’s the moment when you decide to let go of fear and allow love to be your guide. When you accept yourself, blame judgement and anger aren’t important any more.”

When you accept yourself, it means fear can’t control you anymore. It means anxiety can’t ruin your day anymore. It means you are in charge of your life. No matter what is going on in your life, you should never, never, reject yourself.

Learn to press pause

If you want to get a lot done, if you want to be really productive, you must “learn to press pause.” Learn to relax. Learn to connect with yourself.

So to raise your spiritual connection, according to Kim Davies, “Learn to press pause. Have set periods when you without your phone- mealtimes and bedtime for starters. Go for a walk without your phone, just to see what it feels like. And take a day’s holiday from your phone once a month.”

“See yourself in a loving way”

If you want to raise your spiritual connection, you must first ‘see yourself in a loving way.’ Kyle Gray says, “How you see yourself and how you value yourself have everything to do with raising your vibration. When you begin to raise yourself up and get more connected, you begin to see yourself the way the universe and angels do.”
