4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.
Quotation: “I’ll tell you a secret; then you’ll never need to be scared again. Everyone on earth is shy, self-conscious and unsure of himself. Everybody’s timid about meeting strangers. So if you’ll just spend the first minute you’re in the presence of a stranger trying to help him feel comfortable, you’ll never suffer from self-consciousness again. Try it!” –Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Motivation Help: As human beings we are all made of the same material. The way you feel in a room full of strangers is the way other people feel. So instead of focusing on your uncomfortable feelings, begin to try to help other people feel comfortable and welcome.
FDR was right. This really works wonders. The next time you meet someone and feel awkward, think to yourself: “This person probably feels uncomfortable so I am going to help him/her feel better about meeting me.” Then go out of your way to help the other person feel good about your encounter.
It is amazing how much better we feel when we take the focus off of ourself and put it on someone else. Why not give this technique a genuine try today?
