Maybe It's Time To Walk In The Direction Of Your Fears

With each passing year in our life, we become more fearful. New fears are added, and our existing fears grow bigger.

But we must not let fear overtake our lives, whether it’s the fear of germs, fear of loss, fear of collapse, fear of other people, or even fear of death.

After all, when losses do happen, they come out of left field – instead of what we feared happening, something else happens, which is an even more fearful loss, something we never dreamed could happen.

So walk bravely in the direction of your fears….like you have done so many times before in your life.

Remember when you decided to move to a new city or country – that was you walking in the direction of your fears.

Remember when you decided to bravely change your career, or your life, in spite of the money and time already spent – that was you walking in the direction of your fears.

Remember when you decided to pursue a life in academics, or a life in arts, though that was not where the money was – that was you walking in the direction of your fears.

Remember when you decided to commit yourself to a spiritual life, when everyone else was still partying, or turn to a life of duty or service, when everyone else was still having fun – that was you walking in the direction of your fears.

Remember when you decided to pursue your dream….even though you were terribly afraid you would fail…..that was you walking in the direction of your fears.

Remember when you decided to give up something, even though you were really afraid of what would happen….that was you walking in the direction of your fears.

Remember when you decided to make a commitment, even though you didn’t know whether you were strong or responsible enough…that was you walking in the direction of your fears.

You never let fear stop you any of those times. Don’t let fear stop you now.

Walk bravely in the direction of your fears.

Maybe it’s Time.
