~FEAR~
Thank you everyone for the awesome responses. I thought of sharing the dictionary meaning of the word, but instead decided to share some thoughts from you guys:
1. Being alone is one, it's abdonment I'm afraid of. But really, the future is probably the big one. Fear of no money to be able to live. Who will take care of me if something happens to Jeff before I die, etc.
2. Fear to me is being afraid of something that hasn't happened yet.
3. An obstacle....whether afraid of the consequence or the action. It is always lurking. Fear keeps me in a safe place, because overcoming fear can sometimes lead to pain.
4. Afraid of the unknown.
I have experienced fear on the smallest scale.......the butterflies in your stomach to the most extent......you know the kind of fear that takes you to the darkest places you can imagine and makes you actually think of doing things to yourself! Fear consumed my life for a long time, I just didn't realize how much, hence the reason I tried to control so hard and for so long. For those of you that don't control, I'll bet fear assisted you in running away or closing your eyes and hoping things would just get better.
I look at fear as the one thing in life that hinders me and my experiences more than anything. It keeps me bound and doesn't allow me to live life to the fullest. There is no need for fear. Fear is now my alarm clock to awaken me to what I am lacking. Fear is a negative. When I find I fear something, I ask myself why? Usually I don't have enough self-confidence, I doubt myself or others abilities. I quickly change my way of thinking (YES-again it is something we create-therefore something we can change immediately). Bottom line I doubt ME. Fear is something to walk through not run away from. The more you address your fears, the more life opens up to you and isn't so scary. Fear hinders us from getting that "great" job, meeting a new friend, keeping us bound, holding us back from what we deserve-EVERYTHING WE WANT. Decide today to rid yourself of fear, it serves you no purpose and funny how things we fear are never that bad------ONLY in our mind-the place fear lives. You are worthy of so much and deserve nothing but the best, if you believe only this, the best will happen!!!!
I also believe everything in life happens for a reason. You will make mistakes, you have to, we all have to, so always do your best! Keep your mind positive!
