Domination

2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
 
Your biggest fears are completely dependent on you for their survival.  Every day God gives you another chance to change your life, and life’s way too short to let fear interfere.  Today, focus your heart, mind, and spirit on things you believe in and not on things you fear.  Doing so can bring your dreams to life and put the devil to flight.
Don’t be fooled by what others say, especially when they try to tell you what is right for you.  Listen to God and then draw your own conclusions.  What is He telling you about you right now?
There is a clear path that everyone should follow, but often we fear failure so we do not follow it.  Your greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding in life at all the wrong things.  Choose the path that God has for you. Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.  Ask yourself with each and every step you take: “Does this thing I’m doing right now truly help me and those I care about in the next few minutes, few months, and few years? Does it help prepare me for my heavenly journey?”
Whatever you decide on, just make sure you don’t gain the whole world by losing your soul and purpose in the process.  Don't let fear dominate you, but you dominate fear. You can't do it in your strength alone, but it can be done through His!
