Everybody feels fear when dealing with something totally new in life, yet many people are out there ‘doing it’ anyway.
This must mean that fear is not the problem.
It’s how we deal with fear. How we hold the fear.
For some, they hold their fear from a place of power (their fear gives them choice, energy, and action. For others, it creates a state of shut down and they hold their fear from a place of pain (their fear makes them feel helpless, depressed, and stuck).
The cure for our fear lies in saying ‘yes’.
The phrase ‘say yes’ means ‘to agree to’ those things that Life hands to us.
Saying yes means not struggling against, but letting in the opportunities of seeing the World in new ways. On the other hand, saying no means to be a victim. ‘How could this happen to me!’
Saying no means to block, to fight, to struggle against opportunities for growth and challenge. Saying no creates tension, tiredness, wasted energy, upset feelings, – or, worse, it creates a lack of caring.
Say yes to Life. Join in. Move. Act. Write. Read. Stand up. Take a stand. Or do whatever works for you. Get involved in the process.
Become what you want to attract.
Be the kind of person you want to surround yourself with.
Be the change you want to see in others…
…and embrace FEAR in the process.
