Why Am I Afraid?


Why am I so worried about what is to come or what might be? Will I ever be able to control my path of success? It seems as though the road blocks come at you with lightening speed and you are left there paralyzed with fear. The unknown awaits you and you keep crossing these broken bridges and it seems as though you should just stop where you stand and push no further. You hold on to all the hope and cling to the very memories you have that are sufficient for life. But it's not good enough. Steady fighting to make a difference and create the change you were meant to bring...Struggling with life, gasping for air and feeling the heavy weight upon your chest. You are desperate to fly free but there are so many things holding you back...You can't let go, you WON'T let go because you fear...you fear being alone. How can you cross that road alone? How can you do what needs to be done standing ALONE? And then you realize, you are NOT alone. There is a higher power beckoning you to let go...to breathe, to exhale because it is okay. It will be okay. You can finally face your fears because you realize the only thing holding you back is YOU. So you let go of what was... all fear, pain, strife, worry, nonsense, regret, despair...nothing is left except FAITH. This is your moment to be who you said you would be and what that higher power is expecting you to become. The fear of heart and mind is removed and you can think clearly about your future. So WHY AM I AFRAID? I'm not...I'm ready.
