face the unknown and be fearless

other times the Polar Bear, and running is the easiest part, standing your ground is when things can get a little tougher.
My nails are dug in, and I am going climb my way back up, if only for a deep breath of air before being submerged once again.

Staying positive and reminding myself that fear is a useless emotion that only holds me back will help me deal with this one.

There would be nothing to frighten you
if you refused to be afraid.
-Gandhi

Just when you think you have got this one down , concurred it, and come out on top…. ridden the wave, and reached the calm of the storm….. it rears it’s ugly head again, reaches it’s cold and unloving hand deep down into your soul, stares you straight in the face, and scares the hell out of you! ....Every once in a while this still grips me…just when I am feeling safe, or secure…. or perhaps merely comfortable, it hits my stomach with a sickening feeling, and looms largely in the dark of the night, with a smirk on it’s face…..I long to wipe it off with confidence, and self satisfaction.

Come to the edge, he said.
They said : We are afraid.
Come to the edge, he said.
They came.
He pushed them ….and they flew.

Guillaume Apollinaire

Life is like a wild tiger,
You can either lay down ,
and let it lay it’s paw on your head ,
Or sit on it’s back and ride it .
