Pursue
What are you pursuing? A better question might be, are you after anything at all? If you are after things that are beneath you in terms of your ability or strengths or talents, then are they worthy of being called a goal? What you go after tells what value you place on yourself. If what you pursue is easily attainable and doesn't present a challenge or any real effort, then you could be saying that that is all you can do or all that you are worthy of. What are your abilities? What are the things that you are naturally strong at? These are the things that you strengthen and you use these things as a guide for what to pursue. As your strength increases in these areas, so do your skills and the challenge beomes less and less so... you begin again looking at the things that you can do or the things that you want to do that can bring you to the next level and then the next and the next. Don't sale yourself short.
Fear
Fear is probably the strongest influence in how we build our belief structures. We create a mental atmosphere where we can survive in the midst of what we fear. We don't just fear things that can harm us physically; we also fear the emotional pain that comes from rejection. So we form our reality into something that fits how we can cope, except it is no longer reality. Is a belief structure with an unstable foundation of lies.
