THE NATURE OF FEAR
I love fear.
Why?
Because I know that when I feel fear, I am at a doorway within myself that I have not fully gone through yet. That I am feeling fear, because I have not learnt in the moment that this particular fear arises to be present and create. I have recoiled, bartered my power outside of myself (more on that in another post) and retreated into the comfort of a belief about who I am and how my life is.
Now, no good story would be complete without a key now would it? The key is INTENTION.
Where are you- in that moment of hypnotism, where fear has you convinced it is reality.. that you can awaken and challenge fears authority... when you look your fear in the eye and boldly take back that authority. Unless you do this, you will not pass through the door... and you will just 'know of your fears' rather than 'really know them'. The former leaves us with a sense of frustration and despondency. The later, excited and in love with the process and magic of life.
Now this is where love steps in, as it's not over yet... No one is doing fear to you. You have been holding that fear in place all on your own, and why?
Back to love. Remember at the beginning, when I said that fear arises because I have not learnt how to be present and create in a particular moment (ie when I am triggered). Well facing fear from the seat of love/ heart, gives you the opportunity to relate to this part of yourself and say what is it I need... what am I to learn here? And you will need to be in love in this moment, or your Mind will wander on in to control the situation, quoting all the bumper stickers of life of what you already 'know'... and let me tell you now, that's not going to cut it. Because you don't understand what this part of you truly is, this is the whole point.
Being in love in the face of your fear, will help you see and feel the part of you behind your fear- its whole story - and why you have hidden this part of you out of fear, what this disconnect has stopped you from learning and what there is to discover about yourself , life and others... this gift that will transform your life forever.
Now remember, fear underlies anger, guilt, shame, sadness, blame, powerlessness, insecurity ect... obscuring parts of ourselves that are emotionally signalling us that we have so much more potential to be… to be in relationship, to be creative and to be empowered in each moment of our day.
So this is why I love fear, because it's my way of showing myself that... opps I have left a part of me out of this moment. And wow, what will I be able to create when I have got to know that part of myself and how it can help me become more of who I am.
