Turn Your Fear into Excitement So You Can Pursue Your Dreams

By Melissa Field | melissa-field.com | Tiny Buddha

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.” ~John Lennon

When it comes to facing fear and moving past it in order to see my dreams realized, I was always advised to power through it. Do the thing that scares you, no matter how much it makes your heart pound. Take that step that makes your stomach knot up in tight balls. Do it, and power through, or else miss out on life.

Many of us know people who when they’ve reached a certain age, find themselves stuck in the mind-set that they’ll remain single for the rest of their lives. All too often you’ll hear them say: “I’m too old,” or “It’s too late, I’m not going to meet anyone now.” The same goes for people who feel that a promotion has passed them by, or it’s too late in life to start something new. Many people fall victim to this self-limiting belief or subscribe to this form of societal programming. I love the quote by George Eliot: “It’s never too late to be what you might have been.” This article’s message is: It’s never too late and you are never too old!

A few weeks ago, I was lecturing on one of my favorite topics, the power of the soul. I was in the process of explaining how your soul attracts what it needs and desires, when a woman raised her hand and said that she’d been thinking about the artwork she did when she was younger. She felt that synchronicity was playing its hand in guiding her to go back to the art she so loved to create.

Have you ever noticed that many commercial cleaning products come with a fine print that reads something like, “hazardous to humans and domestic animals”? Though what we want is a product that will kill germs and make our windows, dishes, sinks, toilets, and floors sparkle, what we don’t want is to harm ourselves, our loved ones, or the environment. And it’s scary to think we’re spraying and scrubbing the space we call home with toxins that could be doing more harm than good.

With chemicals currently being used daily in our society and making up an astonishing 96 percent of products and materials in America, it’s hard to believe that little regard is being given to their effects. But the Toxic Substances Control Act, which was passed in 1976, hasn’t been updated since day one. So as for those cleaning products? They’re basically untested and unregulated.

And to put the result of this into perspective, traces of about 300 pollutants, including chemicals used for household cleaning, have been found present in newborns’ umbilical cords, while the most common chemicals we use in our everyday lives have been found to cause a variety of illnesses, cancers, and developmental disorders.

A concerning new study finds that most of the breast milk samples tested contained artificial sweeteners. Why has this never been discovered until now and what are the implications to our most vulnerable populations?

Expanding on these findings, an article soon to be published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health on the presence of synthetic sweeteners in breast milk is bound to upset the apple cart when it comes to assessing the toxicological risk of these chemicals to breastfed infants.

In previous articles we have reported extensively on the dangers of artificial sweeteners, especially aspartame and sucralose (aka Splenda), whose presence in tens of thousands of consumer products make exposure to them commonplace. Despite their present day low-risk regulatory status, we have found highly concerning research that these compounds contribute to a wide range of health conditions, which include but are not limited to:
