I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking about the impact of FEAR on the lives of people… of my own life… and how we miss out on so much LIFE because we choose to give in to it.
FEAR profits you NOTHING. Don’t get me wrong, DANGER is real… but fear is not. Fear is an idea of what MIGHT happen but we have no way of knowing what the future holds. FEAR, as some have some, is
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real
Once you buy-in to that “evidence” your mind has convinced you of, you become a slave to it.
I once found myself walking by myself down a country road and thought to myself, “what would I do if a wild dog came out and started trying to attack me?” I only had 2 real options…
- I could panic and freeze with fear as the dog latched on to me and began to rip me apart
- I could find whatever weapon around me and FIGHT for my life
One option MIGHT save my life… but if I gave into FEAR of what MIGHT happen… I stood no chance.
FEAR is made up in the mind and it can be destroyed there… it’s knowing that you CAN NOT know the future only do what you can here and now to LIVE… and not just live but THRIVE in life.
And one thing that helps destroy FEAR… ACTION… GO DO that thing you’re afraid of but you KNOW if you can just DO it… that something AMAZING COULD HAPPEN!! You will find that the FEAR you convinced yourself of… it never truly existed as a reality… but only in your mind.
BE FEARLESS and learn what LIFE can truly be!
