It's one fear. One core fear. The scariest thought, the outcome you dare not consider, your darkest secret, your most shameful memory. It has burdened your journey long enough to feel it is a part of you, and has in many ways shaped who you are. It controls the decisions you make and is the cause for the hesitations you take to simply LIVE. It is that which has convinced you are limited and you better not dare proclaim otherwise. It is what assures you over and over you don't deserve to be free.
But if for a moment, truth is allowed to shine it's light, in it's glare, you'd see freedom. Maybe you have seen it, in glimpses, but lacked the courage or strength needed to follow through.
Is your story the one that ends without obtaining freedom? Is your story the one that ends in that moment of sorrow where the person looks out the window with regret emitting mournfully out of their last breath, wondering what if? If your life were taken today, where would you stand?
When choosing to work our lives around preventing a fear from coming true, a domino effect begins to take effect. Just as one lie can escalate of out control, so can a fear. When we look at our lives, how many choices are made in the direction of living bravely in honesty and trusting what unfolds? How many are choices are made to maneuver our lives around avoiding surfacing some aspect of ourselves we are not comfortable with, or a situation we fear?
Ask yourself, are you building a maze of fear, or unfolding the path of truth?
Just as it started with one fear...you can change the direction by making one brave move.
Imagine that. Looking back at a life of brave and honest choices. Imagine that.
And it starts with just ONE brave move.
nice. It was Mathilda Thrasher who taught me the Dirty Dirties trick. She died many years ago, but died free and a Full On Spiritual Warrior. I was lucky to know her (and still have a pair of socks she gave me for xmas one year- but I digress).
ReplyDeleteWe call it "creating the thing you fear the most." You take actions to protect that which needs no protection or keep from bringing about something and instead the opposite is created.
And, looking about at the mess the world is in and the impending cataclysmic shift coming in the following 20 years, it's obvious that not only individuals, but also peoples, states, regions have this as well.
