On the Other Side of Fear

So, what lies on the other side of fear?  Most of us won't ever find out because we don't trust what is meant to be will be.  In some ways we don't even allow our own personal growth because of the fear of not fitting in where we once were.  If your like me, you believe there is a time for everything and that everything happens for a reason.  So let's take death for example.  Most of us fear losing our lives, so we live life in quiet desperation seeking as much security as we can so that we feel we somehow avoid it from happening.  In fact, we rarely take chances for the sake of feelings safe.  But is that really living?

What if someone told you that you could do everything you ever wanted without fear of dying because you will pass when it is meant to be.  So you have a choice to live life doing the things you always wanted to do or stay close to home and never do anything at all, but either way, when it is your time, it is your time.  So live life fully or live in fear and still have the same outcome, same time.

Maybe it isn't even that grand, but it is fear of meeting others or putting ourselves out there because we are afraid of failing.  Afraid we might not live up to our full potential, that we will disappoint ourselves and others.  But on the other side of that is a life lived happily, taking chances.  Sure you might head down one way and might have to go down an entirely different path.  But what fun trying!!  What fun being alive and taking chances.  Allow life and see what it has to offer you.

Someone said something recently that really got me thinking.  Someone commented about a ride that looked really scary.  Then this other lady said, "Yes, but what a way to go, better than being in a hospital bed with tubes running through you"  That really struck a cord with me.  So true.  Do you really want to barely live, never take chances on you, never do the things you have always loved to do?

Of course the choice is always ours.  What makes us wait?  What makes us sit still most times and not take chances.  Once you do, it is such a wonderful feeling and you have never felt more alive.  Maybe we are afraid of rejection, something new, going to far out of our comfort zone, but that is when we experience the most growth.  We say, "I trust and have faith that everything happens for a reason"

Most of us don't even realize the choices we have, we make them everyday.  Our emotions don't have to be a automatic reaction and we don't have to be slaves to our emotions and fears.  We have a clear cut choice.  Just knowing that you have a choice allows you to change those thoughts and the way you see it, feel it and experience things.

Then of course there is life without resistance, with acceptance and peace.  Life will gently show us the way if we are listening within, paying attention to the signs we are getting.  Going within and knowing who you truly are and what you want out of life is something that is underestimated by most everyone.


On the other side of our fears is freedom, love and joy.  We are free to see the best or be afraid of it all.  We can trust or not trust in a divine plan.  Either way, life will come and go.  How you decide to spend it is up to you!!  Be free of fear, follow your dreams and get to know that power that lies within you!
