Have you ever wanted to do something so bad but are just afraid to do it? It’s funny how in most cases everything that is holding us back in doing something that we truly desire in life is fear based. So many of us are afraid of what “they” may say, or what if? Or I’ll do it some other time..you get my drift. I know that fear has rippled through my being on many occasions in my life when I’ve taken on new projects, gone on a trip or even had to talk to someone that I’d rather not have. But it’s through my experience that in most cases, if we just face our fears, go through them and challenge ourselves the reward is mighty big. We’re all here to create awesome life experiences and more joy. The only way we’re ever going to be truly satisfied in the moment is if we start tackling our goals with intention.
I was scared to death of heights for a long period of time in my not so distant past. So I decided that going bungee jumping would be the cure. It took me a few days to get the courage. But I did it, and when I did I loved the experience and gained a powerful insight as to what fear is all about. Fear is a state of mind that we cultivate ourselves usually from some form of trauma in our early childhood. Fear has so many roots and causes as well, hence why the majority of people aren’t as open as we all should be. Past relationships not working out hinders new ones from forming, old jobs that didn’t work as we thought can create us to settle for mediocrity. The only way we can conquer fear is to do our best to let the past go and live on the edge of our comfort zone. The greatest prize so many times is on the other side of our greatest fear. We’re here to face the world and LIVE! So make today a memorable one and believe in yourself as not only being deserving of all the amazing things this world has to offer, but in essence the possibilities are endless.
