How many times have we reacted to situations or experiences because of the title that the other parties involved hold? We all have had a parent, a friend, a spouse, an associate, a boss, or a “man of God” who has been part of our story where things get a little questionable. When we were children, there was no being “you”. It was “do what I say”. There was no thinking for ourselves, no creating our own realities, no doing what we wanted to do ..period. And as adults ..we became stuck in that cycle. We became stuck in doing whatever that person who holds a title in our lives told us to do. So now we’re stressed, depressed, in our feelings & simply feeling lost. Lost because no one is telling us what to do. It has become so bad that we simply have put all of our trust in someone or something else. We have completely forgotten the one main person who knows what we need at all times – ourselves. No one knows what we truly love the way that we know what we truly love. Same goes for what we truly desire, want & need. There’s so many different available resources to help us figure this out but ..are you not considered a resource for yourself? The answer to this question is the beginning to us becoming fearless.
Fear is created ..therefore it can be destroyed. It’s created by the source ..us. I promise that if you were to ask yourself why you fear doing something or not doing something, the response would be one of two things; something that isn’t even happening or something that has happened but reflects different times. Lets break that down. When something that we fear isn’t even happening we think about all the “what ifs & what could happens” but these are made up scenarios that we have become so good at creating in our minds. Therefore ..they are lies. Sometimes these created scenarios come from one of our close ones with that title that has caused us to react to these “fearful” experiences. So with that in mind, is the fear something you created or was it created by someone else & you just got caught up in it? It’s as simple as the “step on a crack you’ll break your mommas back” story. Mommas back is still intact isn’t it? We were able to come up out of that cycle of fearful lies so why aren’t we able to come up out of the ones that we still live in today? When fear is due to something that has happened but reflects different times this is where our power of letting go comes in. Just because it occurred in the past doesn’t mean that it will occur now ..isn’t this time different because you are different? Your age, your mental space, your finances, your self-control ..all of these areas in your life have moved on. So why would you allow fear to stop you from moving on too?
You’ve questioned your focus & even dwelled on your reality ..not seeing how or when your dreams would ever be ..You’ve lost sight of your drive & began to ignore your passion ..what happened to that love for your goal no matter the fashion? ..You’ve tugged & pulled at each & every idea ..then gave up because of that one common feeling ..fear
