Can you relate

 

Sometimes in our lives, we come across a hurdle that stands in our way of getting to where we want to be. We usually take one look at that hurdle, and automatically think, I cant do this, there is no way I’m ever going to reach my goal.

We end up backing away, leaving our dreams, defeated once again, by our own fear.

If we carry on this way, where will we get, who will we be?.. We will literally be standing still in time, we all have the emotional strength deep down to conquer anything, but fear stops us from doing so. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of humiliation, fear of being hurt or fear of being rejected.

Time and time again we let this feeling win, only to stop ourselves from moving forward.

You in yourself are not a failure, not trying is though.

Are you scared to contact a loved one you haven’t spoken to in a long time?, what stops you? Is it the fear of the unknown or being rejected?, How do you know that will happen unless you try?

Are you scared of looking for a new job , leaving the house, getting in a car, finding love?, if so, there it is again, the defeating “ fear” feeling that overpowers all other feelings, takes over your body every time you go to try.

Find the courage in yourself, fear isn’t everlasting, fear can be defeated instead of it defeating you. Courage cant die, but fear can.

As I read once, look at the cliffs, the rocks on the edge of the ocean, look at how they are battered with waves, yet the rocks remain intact, still standing as strong as they were before. We too can stand strong against such thing, we just need to let ourselves. Fear is your worst enemy, and if you let it rule you for too long, it becomes habit. Take a step forwards, set out to do what you mean to do, and if fear appears in front of you, close your eyes, breathe, relax, and keep trying. I know you can do it, just like I know I can too(i hope
