It is natural for a person to monumentalize fear. Your imagination is excellent at painting a very colorful, energy-taking picture of the fearful outcome you perceive. So vivid is this portrait that it appears real. Much of what you fear is based on things that happened in the past, to you or someone else, and you imagine a similar fearful experience will happen to you in the future. Fear usually shows up in your life as worry, anxiety, restlessness, stress and tension. Living in fear is like living your life in a dark comfortable cave, afraid of the light outside. The tendency is that you do not want to get too close to the edge of the cave. This is to prevent your fears from projecting into the light. The cave becomes your small circle of comfort, known as your personal comfort zone. You know your existence to be what happens within this zone. Sometimes life extends to you an invitation to experience something new; to step outside your comfort zone. The usual reaction is to decline. Why? Because of fear: the fear of failure, rejection, humiliation, incapability, and so on. Even though your situation is far below your standard, you still hang in there because of fear. It prevents you from exploring dimensions that can lift you out of your restricted state. Franklin D. Roosevelt said,” The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” How can you begin to experience what life outside the cave is like? How can you stop your fear in order to step outside the comfort zone for a broad and rich life experience? How can you move from the darkness of the cave into the light of reality? The answer is faith. I’m not referring to religious faith. Faith is a deliberate effort; an effort to alter what you thought to be your fate. Transforming your fears into faith is the key to living an abundantly rich, full and satisfying life. Faith means living your life with purpose. Transforming your fear into faith requires you to remember that FEAR stands for ‘False Evidence Appearing Real’. Therefore, defy fear and its promptings; soar into places that you thought were impossible.
Surely I’m impressed by this, just keep it up because my school also knows about it now. Don’t be surprised when you see traffic.
