Fear

Fear

Is it real? Is it physical? Is it mental? Is it all the above and more?
There are so many ways that fear can be defined, and they would all potentially be valid because it transcends one single entity. Fear is false events appearing real and that fact is that 99% of the things that we fear on a day-to-day basis will never occur. This past weekend the universe has been speaking to me about letting go of fear for me to move to the next phrase and I finally got it. I saw the movie Albany Road this past weekend and the theme that grabbed me was not to be afraid to succeed, to love, to grow, to fail, or to do whatever it may be for you. On Sunday, I attended a local church, and the pastor spoke from Psalms 46 and what jumped out was this: Therefore, will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea Psalms 46:2 (KJV Bible). This verse conveys to me that no matter what happens in your life there’s no need to fear. If you’re hurt, grieving, in financial straits or just merely lost and confused always know that the Most High is making a way for you. It’s up to us to keep walking like the old Chinese proverb says one little step every day turns into giant leaps. Facing your fears is not always going out and skydiving or telling your secret crush about your true feelings, sometimes the biggest fear we often must address is staring in the mirror at the reflection of ourselves. Standing toe to toe with me, myself, and I to release these ugly parts of me. Then there are times when fear is nothing more than just simply letting go of your current situation as it has become stagnant and causing complacency. I would like to insert a sidebar, for those who are at peace with where you are there is nothing wrong with complacency and the stability of normalcy, but I truly feel that we have been granted this experience on earth to experience every breath, every sensation. The good, bad and ugly for God to live through us. So, for me, it would be robbing the Most High and self of what we could become and live and experience because we are afraid. Afraid and fearful of who we could become in this life, which is the sum product of what we chose to face and conquer and what we don’t. As humans, we make so many excuses for every little thing but in the end the greatest impact on our life is understanding fear is not real. Fear is goosebumps on your arm, hair standing up on the nae of your neck, nausea, lumps in your throat, panic, and so many more physiological reactions but they are all responses that are confined within self. We package our lives in bubble wrap like guard rails on bowling lanes. Driving in his perceived safe lane as your eyes drift to the fast lane. Our minds begin racing thinking if I do this or that I could get hurt, I could lose everything, I could fail, I could win and have to live up to it. At this point, I could just become an endless pit of negativity and like I stated above, statistically most things feared cannot even occur. So, in conclusion, fear is false realities appearing real. Fear is our inner demons that we are afraid to face. Fear is a mental projection causing a physical reaction in the body. With that being said, if our exterior world is a reflection of our interior state of being and we can manifest our own reality, then what is there truly to ever fear.
