Face to Face with Your Fear or Challenge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Form the I Ching by Brian Browne Walker:<\/span><\/p>\n

“There are times when even a superior person is undermined by the time.<\/em><\/span>
\n It is natural that inferior elements periodically come to the forefront.<\/em><\/span>
\n Adversity is often a stimulant to our spiritual growth.<\/em><\/span>
\n What is most important is the spirit in which we meet it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When challenging situations come to call, often we are overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety, doubt and fear.<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 We fear that if we do not act immediately and vigorously, we will be ruined or loss.<\/span><\/em>
\n At these times the proper response is “mountain over earth.”<\/span><\/em>
\n By keeping as still and quiet as a mountain, by resting firmly on your foundation of proper principles,<\/span>
\n by accepting the nature of the time and not resisting it, you weather all storms.<\/em><\/span>
\n By trusting in non-action, acceptance and patience you gain the strength of the very earth.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Genuine power and lasting progress come from inner strength,
\nwhich is characterized by a steadfast devotion to the principles of humility, simplicity, equanimity and acceptance.<\/em><\/span>
\n By practicing the quiet strength within and gentle acceptance without,
\nyou acquire a grace that dissolves all barriers to progress.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When you face your greatest challenges, your greatest ally is proper principles.<\/span>
\n These are the fundamental, natural laws that always bring the greatest victory.<\/span>
\n In the challenges we are facing today in our health, relationships, work and worldwide economy,<\/span>
\n each of us is coming face to face with our greatest fears.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our economy is facing its most serious challenge since The Great Depression.\u00a0 <\/span>
\nPeople are losing jobs, home values and retirement plans are disintegrating before our eyes.\u00a0 <\/span>
\nOver 50% of students graduating college are unable to find jobs.\u00a0 <\/span>
\nThis is the common reality; it does not have to be yours<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are facing the toughest mental, emotional and financial world economy of your lifetime.
\nYou have the ability to succeed no matter what the circumstances are.<\/span>
\n Remember that the greatest success is in the person you become and the development of your character.<\/span>
\n
\nNo goal matters unless it is achieved by following proper principles and natural law.<\/span>
\n This is the way to long term success in all areas.<\/span><\/p>\n
