Rejecting Fear
Fear has a way of creeping up on us. It sometimes even overcomes us. After all, there are so many “what ifs” in life. We fear what we don’t know, what we don’t understand, what we haven’t experienced, and what we don’t want to lose. And sometimes instead of fearing how things could go wrong, we actually fear things going right. Why? Because then there’s a greater risk. Because happiness can be jeopardized. We could get hurt. Others could get hurt.But at the end of the day, your fears are only as strong as you let them be, and the “what ifs” in life are only as complicated as you make them.
We worry because we care. Because we want things to go right. Because we don't want to mess up. But sometimes we get so lost in worry that we don't see the bigger picture. We forget how right things actually are.
You have to have faith in others, but more importantly, you have to have faith in yourself. Don’t let your fear consume you. Let the little moments of perfection in life override the fear. Think of how effortless and simplistic certain moments can be. Let those moments remind you that anything is possible and that you do deserve to be happy. After all, everyone deserves to be happy. Even those of us who tend to over analyze a little too much.
As Ambrose Redmon says, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.”
