SPIRIT OF FEAR OF FAILURE THROUGH IFA CHANTS AND MEDICINE BY BABALAWO OBANIFA
-Obanifa Extreme Documentaries- Reformed Africa Ifa Spirituality(RAIS)
‘’Whatever
you fear most has no power, it is your fear that has the power” Oprah
Winfrey
In this current work Babalawo
Obanifa will reveal and document some of the Ifa chants and Medicine available
in Reformed Africa Ifa Spirituality (RAIF) be use to overcome fear and have successful
living , a fulfilled life and life of purpose. One of the hidden truths in life
is that fear and anxiety have kill many lofty dreams than lack of potentials and
skills. As writer Suzy Kassem says, “Fear kills more dreams than
failure ever will.” Fear can cause people to miss out on opportunities that
allow them to reach their full potential.
If you observe most of the things that have
hold you back in life, you will discover that fear is one of the factors that is
responsible for such failure. You are always afraid to go and ask for your rights, You are afraid to
pursue that career that you have natural gift for, just because you are afraid that
you will fail, or you have seeing other failed , You are afraid to go into that
business because you think ,you will lose money , the business can fail or you think you can not take risk as an entrepreneurs.
You afraid to propose to women of your dream or men of
your dream because of the fear of failure or rejection. Many people go through
life as a failure simply because they cannot subdue the spirits of fear and
failure in them. If you observe the life of very successful people you will observed
that they are only people who are able to face their fear and move forward.
These are the people that in charge of the world in sphere of commerce and trade,
science and technology, politic and even spirituality. They are not in any way
better than you. The have one thing in common they are the people who are able
to take charge of their life and subdue their fear. So, it is not the fear that
is holding you back to succeed. It is your self-respecting your fear and making
god or demi -god out of your fear . As Oprah Winfrey as rightly opined ‘’Whatever you fear most has no power, it is your fear that
has the power”
Fear is natural any one can experience fear, but there is one thing
that distinguish successful people from failure. Successful people want to reach their goal more than
they fear failing. To be successful in life
you need to embrace your fear of failure to get what you want in life.
Fear don’t just
come to people life out of their own volition.
There are natural and spiritual causes of fear. The experts in human psychology
and sociology have consider the following factors as causes of fear.
Poor parental upbringing: In a situation where an individual is brought up by parents
that are not supportive, parent who criticize or made bad pronouncement on such
children life. Parent who did not believe in their children, parent who
undermine the potential of their children thinking they will not amount to anything
in life. In this kind of situation. Such children may find it difficult to face
life with courage when they attain maturity. The incidence of their childhood keeps
on coming back.
Experience of Traumatic
Experience- People who have experience
failure or traumatic experience by failing in one sphere of life or see others
who have experience failure in one form or the other in life are always in perpetual
fear to move ahead in life or try things that would have become a success out of fear of failing.
Listing too
much to public Opinion :When you
listing too much to public opinions you will never amount to anything in in
your life. You have brain of your own,
use it. My life is a case study. people
have told me many things in life that it is not possible to do them. But each
time Ignore the naysayers, I have always
achieve beyond their aim. It is easy for people to instill fear in you, they
will see all the reason while you will fail, they will never see single reason
while you can be successful. Many people go through life listing to opinion of plenty
of unsuccessful people and allow it to dictate their destiny. They have never tried
their self, so they don’t know. If they have try, they will not be where they
are and their life will not be they way it is. Why listening to such people?
The fear of
Criticisms – Many people will have been
successful in life but the fear of what
people will say is what keep them back, what will my friends say, what will my people
think of me, I need to conform with
their opinion . The truth is this, you don’t need to care about what they say
if what you want do is right.
Abusive Relationship:
If you have abusive relationship where
your spouse ,friend, boss at work is a bully . You will discover that this can
also affect all other sphere of your life .where you find it difficult to
become successful due to the fear of failure to act.
Spiritual Factors:
Evil people can attack you with
Spirits of fear of failure to hold you back in life.
How will You know
You are Under the Influence of Fear of Failure?
Below are some of
the thing you will be experiencing.
Safety first is
your motto always: You only want to
do things that you already know it did not involve any risk. You want to know
you are safe from beginning to the end. I.e You don’t want take any risk in business, in political arena, in wrestling for
power, pursuing career, going for competition if though you are more than qualified
,you will not to try because you perceive risk.
Lack of Self Confidence: A person
under the influence of failure will lack self -Confidence. They are always in
state of doubt. Life of low self-esteem.
Procrastination: Procrastination is one of the major signs of spirits
of failure. Things that you are capable of doing. You will be saying I will do
it tomorrow; I will start the business next year. I will tender the proposal next month all because of fear. Simply because you are afraid to fail. Or Because
you think you are not yet ripe for it.
Seeing yourself
in negative perspective: Seeing yourself
in negative perspective. Thinking that you are not good enough, thinking that
you don’t have enough skill, You are not beautiful or handsome enough. Thinking
that you are not brilliant enough. Seeing yourself as if you are not competent
enough or you don’t deserve a promotion or success.
Fear and Anxiety
to approach People for Help: You are
always in perpetual fear to approach people who can help you for help.
The truth is that it
is almost impossible for human being not to experience fear of failure in one
form or the other. The truth is that until you take possession of your own mind
and life and see yourself as the sole architect of your life. Life is not what happen
to you. Life is what you create yourself. There is always different between
failure as an event and failure as an individual. Failure as an event does not
need to transform to failure as a person.
The history book
is full of successful people whom society had have wanted to put fear in them not manifest
their destiny. Those of them that have chose to overcome the spirt of fear
become great in life.
- Michael Jordan is widely considered to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time. And yet, he was cut from his high school basketball team because his coach didn't think he had enough skill.
- Warren Buffet, one of the world's richest and most successful businessmen, was rejected by Harvard University.
- Richard Branson, owner of the Virgin empire, is a high-school dropout.
Physical
Steps to take to Overcome the Spirits of Fear.
Below
are the tips I have personally use to overcome fear of failure inlife.
Personal Tip I have use Myself.
Have
self -worth: Many people go through life without
self -worth. They always look to others for help and think they can not amount to
anything in life on their own. Life doesn’t work that way. You need to have
self -worth of your own before you can ever record any success in life. No body
will help you or will even deem you fit that you deserve to be help if you don’t
have self- worth. I learn this early in
life. My father late Pele Olofindipe of
blessed memory been a local herbalist
and a farmer. In those days people look
down on herbalist . When I am growing up some people think I will not amount to anything in life . When I
try to pursue my university education some of my contemporaries discourage me
thinking I can not financially take care of myself through the system. I defied
all their opinion. I recorded success and achieve it to their amazement. I always
believe in myself even if I don’t know the means to achieve the end in view.
That is not the only example . In this spiritual practice some have even think I
cannot rise without passing through their channel and connections, I defied them all ,I have self-wort, I have brain and natural
gift of my own I can use it.. For Example in year 2013 Owolabi Aworeni who now
hold the title of Araba in Ife approached me that I should work with him that
any connection he have he will connect me and help me .I defied him , that is the power of self
worth. To his amazement I was able to soar high withing few years. Without him
and his perceive connections. He came back with malignant campaign and petitions
here and there snapping the pictures of my houses, telling people I am fraudster
that I did not known my work .Thinking that I will come back to liaise with
him. I defied him . when that is not
working he recruited other Awo with himself to be written petitions against me I
defied them. Of course they try spiritually too and they failed . I defied them.
I am saying this for future generation to see and noted I have all the evidences. Today I
am still in active spiritual practice and business despite the persecution. That
is power of self-worth. Once you have self-worth . You can face your fear and
overcome them . You will then discover that your fear are not fear. That is
only you that can hold yourself back in life.
NB:
If the things I say here is lying ,the person mentioned should come publicly to
call me out that I lied against him, not
do things behind my back again. He has never have courage to personally face me
. That is power of Self -worth.
Education
– I am talking for myself, I don’t know
if it will work for you. But I know that if you adopt it, It will work for you.
Educate your mind. Your mind need to develop not to feel fear. How do you developed
your mind. It is through information you get through books, audio podcast, lecture
and personal observations. A mind that is not fully developed will always been
in fears. The fear of unknown. When I am taking of education here. I am not taking
of you going to colleges ,university etc. I mean acquiring practical skill or knowledge
about life (street knowledge). Study the life of great people . People who have
done great thing for their self in life
.Smart street knowledge . The more information at your disposal about practical
aspect of life .The more confidence you become , and the more fully you will live.
Choose
Your Army : When I said choose your army , I did
not mean you should recruit soldiers or
louts. What I mean is choose friend and working companions who reason in the
level you are reasoning. Not people who
have no courage to face life. Not people who think risk are not worth taking.
Not people that will talk you out of your dreams . Avoid negative people. Embrace the bold and
fearless. You are whom you associate with same way you are what you eat. If you
are too fearful look at your surrounding may be you have a lot people that are consume
by fear.
Be
Proactive and Ruthless: When I say
be proactive and ruthless , you may think what is Obanifa saying here. But in the
real world every body is playing power game. If you are too timid and you show
element of fear or frustration people will take advantage of you. You need to
be bold , you need to learn how to
confront people when they step on your
toes , don’t be afraid to fight. Let me tell you ,in the street if you show timidity
that you cannot take a single blow to an opponents ,You will end up with eyes
swollen with dozen of blow rain over you. You must be confidence. The mere
reputation that you are ready for confrontation alone can safe you from a lot
of shit you would have go through. I am telling the truth I have seeing it in people.
Ignore
public opinion and Naysayer: Part
of the thing that put many people in fear is fear of what people are saying about them. What people are saying about you should not instill fear in you not to act or
pursue your dream. If no body is saying something about you or your business or
life ,you are as good as dead. Some time it is even better to be slander than
to be ignore. to be successful you must be in public mind, you must always be
in the news. Give your competitor or opponents things to say about you, whether
positive or negative it is immaterial, use them as publicity stunt. Deliberately
commit honest blunder or mistake that you know it is not harmful to you or your
business ,just to give them something to talk about. . You don’t need to care . If you study my
website www.babalawoobanifa.com I do upload modern hips-hop songs there to keep the site
up with the spate of modernity and its viewers. It draws visitors to the website
than when I am uploading Ayinla omo wura and Ebenezer Obey there. Some people
in Ifa tradition were not happy about it . They criticize me . I don’t even
look at them. I don’t need to conform with what they want. Their criticism is not
what will generate traffic to my website.
Be
Yourself : The greatest freedom I have ever had
in this life is been myself. Many people go through life trying to be like everybody
else or other people out of the fear
that they don’t want to be different .They don’t want society to see them as
different. Let me tell you ,you are born
alone and you are going to die alone ,no body will die with you . while not
live your life . people go through life trying to be like other people out of fear, even though
that other people ways of life and mode of doing things does not fit in and conform
to whom they are in life. Let me tell
you no body can record success in such
manner , you become drain and no body will pay attention to you. I loss that
fear many year ago .I show the world this is how I understand to do my thing, since them I have
never turn back.
Forget
You Past: Let me tell you If you can not
forget some thing about your past it may be difficult to overcome spirit of
fear of attaining lofty height in life. For Example if you are born poverty.
You need to forget that ,by constantly engage in backward glance that you were
poor your have mentally classified yourself as poor people .let the dead bury
the their dead. The past is past. face the future in front of you with courage.
You have enough brain of your own.
