Have you every felt like all walls were closing in on you? That you are cornered, stuck, with no way out? I have. It is one of the worst feelings, I have ever experienced. The feeling of helplessness & utter panic. The panic that makes you sick, dizzy, confused and ultimately lost. It is a feeling hard to describe completely, but that is the best I can. Fear does this, fear can cripple people & stop people from living the best life planned for them. Fear can control peoples behaviors, attitudes & choices. Fear can twist things all up in your mind. Fear lies & pulls you into a pit of dread. BUT, fear is not for you, Peace is. This feeling of fear will come up from time to time, we are human. But the fact is it is normal to experience fear. For instance starting a new job is scary, moving, expecting a child, public speaking, many things in life will be and can be scary, but it is what you do with that fear that can either steer you forward or hold you back. I for one want to be catapulted forward not backward, I want to thrive, not strive & live in peace.
The fear of the unknown or even the fear of what people may say or think of you can be somewhat crippling at times. I desire to be fearless & released from the word fear itself, but it takes self awareness, action, mindset & effort to truly overcome it. Some of the strongest, most confident seeming people struggle behind the scenes on the inside with the feeling of what some may say or think of them. We are all facing battles nobody may know about, but when you step up your comfort zone, step into your A game and refuse to sink in all of the madness, amazing things can happen. One of the ways to do this is to LET IT ALL GO, just as the great, Frozen movie song says, let it go! All the worries, all of the, "what if's," the inner voice saying, "you can't," YOU CAN! Give up the need to control every aspect of you life & give yourself some slack. I am sure you have faced many fears in your life whether big or small & you can continue to face many more! So next time all the walls are closing in on you, think of the frozen song, think of all you have already overcome & kick those walls down, wear a crown, stand strong & watch your life begin to not only change, but rearrange. Everything will shift around you & in time fear will be a meaningless word in your vocabulary.
