Recently all sorts of ads are appearing to motivate us to denyour fears lest they hold us back from achievement. As a therapist, and someone who has overcome many fears, I want to advsie against that philosophy.
I believe that you have to FACE YOUR FEARS, not deny that they exist. Sure, that’s a scary prospect, but the alternative is ultimately treacherous, as you squelch your emotions and bury your feelings.
Feeling fear, though unwelcome, is an integral part of life. The triumph comes not from avoiding our fears, but from tackling them.
Each time you transcend what is frighteneing you, your spiritual growth takes a giant leap.
At first your belly will quiver. (mine does) Then you take action to confront the very thing you wish you could avoid, but shouldn’t…then your life opens up to new possiblities. It’s a daunting task, but one that we must take time and time again to free ourselves from the shackles of fear.
The fears will always show up.
Ask yourself who you will you be in the face of them?
Courage is a glorious skill to master, available to us all. You must just choose it, and it will be yours.
