Don't Let Fear Direct Your Life
Well it's been rough lately. I had to face many fears and I learned to face them without letting them control me. I cannot tell a lie, there were moments I felt very much like the girl in my thumbnail picture. But I had sudden bursts of powerful reactions that got fear running to the hills. I remember a saying Jesus uttered while in the desert for forty days, where he commanded satan to get behind him. I felt I was doing the same in those instances, telling fear, this unwelcomed, distructive negative dark thing rushing through like a bulldozer, to get behind me and get on its way. Fear is evil, really, and I am not talking about the natural fears of height and falling that protects us, but fear that takes our power away. I don't believe in satan, but I do know in life there are always opponents that come to test our faith in life and love. We make decisions to follow negative flows or positive flows. Fear is that negative flow that surely emerges during hard times we may be facing and dares us to give up, shrivel and let our optimism and love of life die.Don't let fear control you. Acknowledge it as a passing feeling, natural in some instances, but also remind yourself not to give into it. Don't resist it in other words, feel it, be conscious of it, reason that fears usually come from not knowing and our lack of control over a situation. Let the fears flow away, let them go and surrender to love and trust and knowing that what ever is causing the uncertainties, anxieties and fears in your life, will pass and leave their mark, sometimes a even a scar. But they will become lessons from which you will learn great things, and you will definitely survive.
