Your Fears Must Be Faced...

For a very long time, fear has controlled my life. It has paralyzed me and kept me from living the life of my dreams. For many years, I have spent days trying to figure out what was stopping me from moving in any direction. I know and knew, that I needed to start the process of facing my fear, but I was too afraid to show my weaknesses.

I have also learned that a lot of fear and pain comes from comparing myself to others. Every single person has their own battle and struggles, so there's need for me to compare myself to others. We all have our own issues, debilitating experiences, and love heartbreaks, that have left us with mental scars. I am fearful of opening my life’s book and reading the next chapter, not knowing where it is going to lead me. I am fearful of experiencing the next new, unseen adventure of my life.

I asked myself a question just a few days ago, what is stopping me from being and doing me? Being honest it is fear. Fear has been stopping me from doing my work and becoming what I was predestined to be. I have been allowing fear to hold me back. I have recognized that it is the fear within me that has been hindering me, and I have finally begun the process of facing it. I have begun the process of letting go, not only of my fear but of what is, so that I can become what isn’t.

I am now able to see, how fear has manipulated my story and I now tell myself that these stories are not real. I can no longer allow false stories to go unchecked because it creates anxiety in me. I am now ready to face my demons, I know that letting go is a challenge, but I think I can now see an end to the cycle. I have learned that everything is one step at a time. Your fears must be faced so that you can finally move forward. – It’s Just A Thought...Paul Steven Smith – Uncle Paul
