Fear Not!

I have been struggling with fear for a long time and I have been working closely on my fears for some time now... Along the years, I have been battling many fears… fear of the unknown, fear of tomorrow, fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of letting people down, fear of being let down, fear of not having enough, fear of not being enough… and the list goes on and on…

I’ve kept reminding myself that ‘Fear and Faith cannot reside in the same heart’… but, saying it is easy, it is the implementation that seemed to take its toll on me… and, when you find yourself in a career where you teach and preach this to others but fail to fully embrace it yourself, you begin doubting your integrity… It took me years to embrace my vulnerable side… it took me years to understand that it is enough to do the work, to keep trying… the battle against fear won’t ever end and nor should it end… 

Our fear is our closest friend, a friend that saves our lives at times. And, at other times, fear is there to warn us that we stepped out of our comfort zone… Like a caring friend, concerned about our safety, it might freak out when we seem to be at risk… the risk does not need to be physical or life threatening… our fear warns us when we might hurt our ego, our pride, or our feelings…
If we succumb to our fears, though, we will never grow, we will never change, we will never break the chains and fly…
But, fighting our fear, like I have been doing for years, makes it only grow wilder and stronger… and, ignoring it, makes it louder generating a bigger fuss…
All we need to do is embrace this dear caring friend. It just needs to be reassured that everything gonna be fine. We need to listen and may be heed some of its precious advices and warnings.

The opposite of ambiguity and uncertainty is not certainty… Life can’t ever be certain or predictable and this actually is part of its charm… What if the opposite of ambiguity, as Lissa Rankin says, is the excitement of possibility? What if this ambiguity that we fear is actually the open horizon, the endless opportunities that are waiting for us behind those closed doors… We just need to have the courage and faith to open those doors even while we know that all is not milk and honey on the other side. Hurricanes, tornadoes and storms may come along, but these are not bad in themselves, they clear up the way and force us to start afresh, they show us how strong we are and how creative, resourceful and powerful we can get… After the storm, the air is fresh, clear and breezy, the sun will shine again and beauty will restore itself in the perfect order of time and place… We just need to trust… Trust the inner wise voice inside us that tells us all is good… trust that you are enough… that you have what it takes… you made it through yesterday, you are making it through today and will definitely make it through tomorrow…And, above all trust your Creator... Trust that everything happens for a reason, for a meaning, for a higher purpose... Trust that soon the storm will calm down and the sun will shine again… very soon! 

Today is the day, take the decision to stop fearing the future… stop worrying about what might happen… stop fretting about what people might do or think… stop hiding your beauty into your tiny bud … stop postponing life waiting for something you don’t even know what it is… Take a leap of faith and enjoy every moment, enjoy every step along your journey… It all gonna work out just fine… Trust me!With Health & Healing .
