– The most common fears that people have and how to overcome them.

If given reign, Fear binds you – it keeps you locked in and holds you in place. If you allow it, it will keep you from moving ahead and from realizing your dreams; it will stop you in your tracks.

Of the many things that get in the way and prevent us from attaining what we need and want in our lives, fear would have to be the biggest obstacle, and it is amazing the many disguises it can take on. Fear can paralyze us; it can prevent us from making decisions, it will hold us from taking action and will keep us from asking for what we really want out of life.

We have all heard this many times but have you ever stopped to think about what it really means? Over these past few months I have noticed what many people have been saying about the state of the economy; there has been much talk about how bad it is. Although it has been tough times for many it has also been good times for others.

What was the difference? How can one business do very well in tough economic times and another similar business thrive? I think a major difference is in how they think and what they say.

The business owners that do very well always have a positive attitude and speak about making lots of sales and having many customers coming through the doors. While the business owners that don’t do so well have a different outlook; when you talk to these business owners they always say “we are doing okay, considering the current tough economic times it is sure to be slow considering all that is happening”.

I also had some friends open a new business in what was considered a very bad time to open, as many other were closing, but they had a very positive attitude and are making a profit and doing better than expected.

This doesn’t just apply to business. I have friends who always seem to be getting sick with whatever is going round, eg the flu, stomach bug etc., while other friends never seem to get sick at all. The difference is in what is said! – do you say “I never get sick” or “I always catch whatever flu or bug is going round”.

Next time someone asks “how are you”; think about how you answer, you can answer with a positive reply or a negative. It’s always your choice. If you are in business and someone asks “how is business”, stay positive and see if things change. Of course one positive answer will not turn around a slow business but many positive thoughts and words said with feeling can change things.

For all those born in the month of January, your Birthstone is Garnet.

Garnet is very common and plentiful stone and can be found in many areas around the world. It has a trigonal crystal structure, and there are different forms according to its mineral base; Almandine, Andradite, Demantoid, Grossular, Hessonite, Pyrope, Rhodalite, Spessatite, Tsavorite and Uvarovite.  A common misconception is that all Garnets are a red, when actually they come in a wide variety of colours including purple, red, orange, yellow, green, brown and black.

Garnet has been widely known for thousands of years, and it has long been known as The Warriors Stone, carried by soldiers the world over as a talisman against death and injury, but it was also said to bring victory, peace and tranquillity. Many courageous travellers and explorers wore Garnets for protection, as they were considered popular talismans and protective stones.
