Fear is a curious emotion, don’t you think? It comes in all shapes and sizes.
We fear for our health, and stop doing what will make us feel better.
We fear for our loved ones, and a part of us wants to keep them ‘safe and protected’ which will obviously, stop them from learning how to feel safe on their own.
We fear that we will never get what we really want or who we really want, and so we start walking in the opposite direction when any of them come our way.
And we cannot forget the fear reinforced at an early age in situations of repetitive trauma 'you will never be loved' 'you are worthless'.
As humans, we are adaptable and resilient, and when there is no other choice, we know that no challenge is too hard.
In a world of polarities, I find useful to remember that when fear is around, so it is courage. You get to decide which one is more present in your life.
So, let us rephrase my initial question:
How is courage affecting your life?
Take a deep breath. Look around.Think in your last victory. There are more to come.
You a doing great
