Fear launches the desire to be unafraid.
In this way it is helpful.
It can be motivating and productive to move THROUGH fears by facing them.
But trying to move IN fear is another story.
Fear is a weak emotion.
Not “You are weak if you’re afraid.”
The emotion itself holds very little power.
Fear is the straw of the emotional world.
You don’t want to build with it.
Only the big bad wolf will be happy.
And he won’t really have to be big or bad.
That house gets blown down with a couple accidental huffs and puffs from a small, well mannered wolf with allergies.
Go love something.
I know. It’s harder than it sounds.
But you’ve got this.
