We are faced with two choices in life. We are either comfortable with or scared to death of. It’s unfortunate that some question their struggles in life, when it’s clear all that needs to be done is to place your struggles in the category of comfortable. Your perspective and how you handle life, changes, once you understand that all bad experiences are necessary for obtaining confidence and personal growth. Hard life experiences are souvenirs we collect along the way from our life, to remind us of where we came from and a place we choose never to revisit. Can you imagine what your life would be like if you decided to view your struggles as a comfortable way of being taught. Then there will be no need to have fear and be scared to death of.

Fear is a false impression designed to alter what is real. Fear is never about what you think or feel about yourself. Your authentic thoughts are always secure and never with doubt. Fear is and entity that hooks itself on those authentic thoughts and it’s your job to detach them. Fear as we know it has its greatest power when we hide it. Imagine yourself alone, standing in a dark room and you feel the warmth of someone breathing on the back of your neck. Right away your instincts tell you to run and get the hell out of there… correct? That warm breathing on your back is fear. Fear loves when you’re standing still. Every day you choose to keep fear hidden, allows it to fester and grow. Fear has a wonderful life. It can live on forever without having to do anything but simply stand behind you and breathe. Fear loves when you’re dormant however, how productive are we when standing still alone in a dark room. I don’t know about you, but I need to see my ideas come to life. I need to know that my existence on this earth has a meaning and reap the benefits of my hard labor. So standing alone, in that dark room with fear breathing down my neck is not an option.

Some have said fear does not exist that it’s a fabrication. I totally disagree fear does exist. I believe it’s created from that part of us that’s uncertain. We are all creatures of habit, our life consist of routines and things that are familiar to us. We are content when things are in order. So naturally when we are faced with uncertainties, we become nervous and anxious. That’s when panic sets in then we are stuck feeling helpless and wanting to go back to our familiar routines. The thought of standing in a dark room alone with fear as your partner can be scary. But here’s the thing about fear or any negative emotional block that exist, it loves to hide. Fear is actually one of the most cowardly of emotions. It especially loves to hide behind those goals that require the most from us. Fear loves to rest among our desires, ambitions and our future plans of success. With each of us having some sort of goal we are trying to achieve fear will always have a home. To say fear isn’t real, oh it’s very real. In fact, it can become your personality or way of life if you let it. Fear is the one emotion that gets the most attention when you are at your worst. It gets to sit next to you as you daydream about that new business you’ve always wanted to start. Fear gets to sleep like a baby, cuddled snug with you on those nights you lie restless in bed, feeling miserable and unhappy… wondering what happened to your life, wondering what’s next. We’ve all been there, wanting more but feeling stuck. At two in the morning panic sets in your heart is pounding, thoughts are racing, you feel hopeless, helpless, not sure of what the future will bring.

Then… it happens! Good old fear is about to wake up! You’ve just brought in thoughts of change and things you wish to accomplish and it needs to be present. Remember your desire for change is a fear comfort zone. This is when we become prisoners of our own thoughts, that inner voice that haunts us when we’re alone. If we are honest and pay attention, we can capture the moment in which we retreat behind our self-inflicted walls of fear. It’s that moment when staying at your unfulfilled job or unhealthy relationship is easier than living the life you know you deserve. And there you are with old man fear breathing heavier than ever, hovering over you and there’s only one thing that needs to be done… You must put fear in its place.
