This Is What Fear Means To Me

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

I do not know what fear means to you. But to me, this is what it means to me:

Fear is real, but it can’t stop me from living my life.

Fear is real, but I will not give in to it.

Fear is real, but it means nothing to me.

Fear is real, but it is not to be feared. Fear is to be mastered.

Fear is real, but I don’t live in it. I live in peace.

Fear is real, but it is not me. It has nothing to do with me.

Fear is a force, but it can’t stop me from moving on.

Fear is real. Fear is not a stopper. Because It can’t stop me from doing my work.

Fear is real. Fear is an advancer, not a stopper.

To you, what does fear mean?

Ask For What You Need, Not What You Want

‘Asking for what we need is a practice in being present and visible that lets us become intimate with our own nature. Accepting what we’re given is a practice in being present to everything beyond us that lets us become intimate with the nature of life.’- Mark Nepo, The Endless Practice: Becoming Who You Were Born to Be

Focus on what matters to you. Do not waste your time on what you do not need. Instead, focus on what you have.

Why is that? Because it is what you have that can make you happy, not what you do not have.

If you want to bring out the best in yourself, be grateful for what you have. And more will come to you.
