I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Fear holds me back from myself and my life could be much better if I stopped being afraid. I’m not sure if its fear of what others think or fear of the unknown. Sometimes I even suspect that I’m afraid of the responsibility of having no fear. If I have no fear or if I learn to conquer it, I am out of my comfort zone. I think I am almost afraid of my own power. Familiary is comfort. Livin in chains is sometimes more comforting than being free. Strange but true. Sometimes, I’m simply afraid to take a chance because of the outcome. I’m afraid of change. But if you think about it, everything is changing, all the time. If you do nothing, things are still changing. In the past few years, I have put myself in so many situations, scared to death, just to face my fears and see that I will make it through. I have had panic attacks, anxiety attacks, breakdowns…seriously not thinking that I would make it out of whatever situation I was in. But I always have. I’ve always come out stronger than before and that’s what I’m starting to see. No matter what happens, fear is just fear. Its an illusion in your way. There is nothing to fear except not being the best that you can be. I have always expected things to come out the way that I want them to, but I’ve learned its way more interesting when I let life happen. Accept reality as it is. Accept change. Embrace the truth, no matter how much it may hurt at the moment. You have nothing to fear!
