When Do You Let Fear Go?
A lot of u.s. are scared. Worried. Anxious.
We accept good reason; there is a lot to exist anxious about.
Lots of things scare me. Terrorism, serious illness, growing old and losing the people I dear. I try to remind myself that it's the juxtaposition of fear and courage, despair and hope, desperation and joy that gives life it's spark. Nosotros need the depth to feel the heights, right?
It's hard to co-exist peacefully with fearfulness and anxiety though.
Sometimes I'd like to pretend fear and anxiety don't exist, deny them, or grind them into grit under my running sneakers. But I can't.
A man I knew once told me a story. It began similar this: "Yous know nothing scares me, just…"
I was astounded past his lack of insight. Was he kidding himself into thinking he was fearless, or did he think he was fooling me into thinking he was? I don't believe in fearlessness. I've never met anyone like that, take you?. I don't think that'southward what courage is made up of.
Backbone is staring your fear in the face up and taking a risk anyway.
For some of us, taking a adventure means jumping out of an aeroplane, rock climbing, or talking in front of a huge crowd. For others, our fears lay in matters of the middle. Exposing ourselves enough to be loved. Admitting our failings. Saying we are sorry.
How do we summon the backbone to take risks? Over the final two years risk taking for me has meant challenging my assumptions almost what I "can" and "tin't" exercise. It has meant writing this blog, putting myself increasingly "out in that location" and making my dreams of sharing the healing power of art with more people a reality both in my part and around the world.
For me, It all started with ane question. One that I promise maybe you lot enquire yourself right now:
What would I exercise if I had no fear?
It's a very powerful little question, isn't' information technology? It got me wondering well-nigh what has happened for you when you have set fright aside.
What risks take y'all taken, even though they scared you?
"Declining" is scary.
Yous wonder: What if people think what I've done is stupid?
What if people call back I'thousand stupid? Ugly? deadening?
I'm giving you permission to entertain the questions:
What practise you lot really want? What would you do if there were no limitations?
What would you practice if you had no fear?
I'd love to know.
