No. Fear.
My new motto.
I wake up every day excited to see what’s coming next.
Don’t get me wrong. I still have the same issues I had before adopting my new motto. I just view them differently now. Maybe not differently. Perhaps more clearly would be the accurate description.
What a difference a month makes.
From the beginning of this journey to find myself again, I’ve been excited. I’ve also been scared. Scared about leaving my husband. Scared of how to make it on my own again. Scared of what he might do. Scared of so much.
Fear is such a taker. It takes hope. It takes joy. It takes everything if you let it. I just got so tired of the taking. During a conversation with a very special person, the subject of fear came up. It was that chat that convinced me it was time to stop fear in it’s tracks.
I know! It’s a totally amazing concept isn’t it? Stop. Fear. In. It’s. Tracks. Sounds powerful doesn’t it?
It feels pretty powerful as well.
I made a choice. No. Fear.
And guess what’s happened? Adventure!
I will be traveling to a country somewhere across the pond in a month’s time to visit a very special friend. Do I know what will happen when I get there? Nope. Am I worried? Nope.
I’m with you. I wonder how it’s possible to go from being afraid of everything to feeling No Fear. Turns out it’s a choice. And I’m making it. I refuse to have the rest of my life ruled by fear. I am going to take the joy with the pain, the ups with the downs and revel in all of them. I want to FEEL something! I am not living in numbness anymore.
So, even when it feels overwhelming and uncertain, life is good.
NO FEAR.
