Master Fears & Create a Positive Shift

"If we are not responsible for the thoughts that pass our doors, we are at least responsible for those we admit and entertain." - Charles B. Newcomb

Learning to master our fears and develop a good relationship with the unknown is essential to living life to the fullest. One of the greatest things I ever did for my self confidence was graduating from UC Berkeley's physics department. I discovered when I began classes at age eighteen at UC Berkeley that I was one of very few women students in the physics department, and typically the only female in any given class. I was painfully shy, and frequently got knots of nervous tension in my stomach from the combined stress of living away from home for the first time, taking classes on a faster-paced quarter system for the first time, and being keenly aware of being an extreme minority. In order to succeed in this environment, I had to face and conquer many fears.

My first report card at UC Berkeley hit me with a feeling very much like a physical blow when I saw instead of getting most all A's as I'd received all through high school, I was getting C's. I thought to myself that my first report card from UC Berkeley confirmed my worst fears. These fears had to do with my thinking that the only students who could make it through UC Berkeley's rigorous physics program were the ones I saw in the majority in LeConte Hall... young Asian males. I broke down in tears at the thought of failing in my physics program, and wondered how I could ever tell my parents what had happened. Failure in my eyes at that time was more to do with not getting As than it was the concept of being kicked out by the university. In the midst of my dark mood at that point, my roommate Kathryn bounced joyfully over to ask me, "Did you pass?" I wiped my tears away with my hands, stunned by her question. "Yes, I passed," I replied. Kathryn whooped for joy, and said, "Let's celebrate!"

I still had tight knots in my abdomen facing the rigors of getting a grip on the quarter system, living away from home, and being one a handful of women in my program. The greatest epiphany for me at that juncture in my life was the simple realization that my own thoughts and attitudes made the biggest difference in my success in life. Yes, I had passed my classes... and while my first reaction to seeing my report card was to grieve, wasn't it a whole lot healthier to celebrate the fact that I was not at risk for flunking out?

This turning point in my life taught me that by mastering my inner dialogue of thoughts and attitude, I can face anything. Not only can I overcome my fears, but I can improve my relationship with whatever or whoever I have been afraid of. Even though I was still painfully shy, I found ways to enjoy being the only girl in most of my UC Berkeley Physics classes. I found ways to see myself as succeeding at meeting my goals by tackling areas I had difficulty with in small steps... and I succeeded.

And speaking of fears, the year 2012 brings curiosity and a touch of fear to all our minds. Unlike the Y2K fear, 2012 has been foretold in prophecy for thousands of years. People wonder what it means, who will be affected, whether 2012 is the end, and what will happen to us. I found some fascinating answers to these questions in 2012: Creating Your Own Shift, a tremendously important book at a time when the world seems to have gone crazy! This book is a strikingly powerful epiphany and a practical handbook, all in one. If you wonder what's going to happen on December 21, 2012, this book is a must read! It will enable you to explore the deeper nature within and guide you to answers about the outer world. 2012: Creating Your Own Shift summarizes the best insights that thirty-seven of the world’s most authoritative sources have to offer, providing readers with a vast cross-section of titillating information and perspectives on the 2012 transition. One thing on which all the authors of this amazing work agree is that 2012 will mark an initiation into a completely new consciousness and a divinely ordained new beginning for our world.
