The Thief

 

"A woman who can control her fear

is both a powerful asset

and a worthy opponent."

 

Sarah Elizabeth Pharis

 

 

Fear is a thief!  Fear drains us of physical energy as well as creative expression. It can control us so thoroughly, we may as well be locked in a cage.  It has the power to rob us of rational thinking.  The impact of fear, can keep us in the dark even though we can still see an eye of beckoning light.

 

Fear is an illusion to be recognized so we can step through it into the light or real world.  Fear says, "What if you fail?"  Healthy thinking says, "What will I learn?"  If we cower in darkness we will fail to experience the wonders of the world. 

 

Although fear can be a true warning in dangerous situations, it can also be a block to our passion and dreams.  Fear keeps us thinking small and handicaps our ability to move forward.  The trap of fear can hold us in depression which is painful and exhausting. 

 

There is a risk of stepping through fear, but by taking the risk, we usually end up more powerful.  It is empowering to face our reality, and navigate through challenges.  It may not be easy, but it certainly is better than the pain of living in fear.  Don't let fear be a thief, taking from us calm, peace, and connection.
