Fear Wants Failure
Working with Fear: Balancing Fear in Life to Pursue Dreams
Fear is an unavoidable part of life and the best way to cope is to understand it and learn to work with it. Fear often wants failure and stagnation, but we can renegotiate our fear and use it to help us grow, change, and be creative. Fear can be very uncomfortable and intense, but it does not have to be the primary emotion that dictates our lives.
We can find ways to work with fear and balance its presence in our lives rather than letting it take over. By being aware of our feelings and fact-checking the stories fear tells us, we can live fuller lives while still recognizing that pain and loss are unavoidable parts of life. Life can be full of growth, change, risk, pain, pleasure, and loss, but it's necessary in order to live a fulfilling life.
Fear can prevent us from wanting what we desire and can create a sense of stagnation, but we should interpret our feelings and discern their deeper message. Embracing change requires a dance with fear. Fear is not bad; it can be used to gain clarity and understanding.
Fear can also help guide our decisions and inform our self-awareness. We can use fear to create big changes in our lives without having to take multiple steps or take a lot of time. Fear can often lead us to make things more complicated than they need to be, separating us from our dreams and desires.
However, we can learn to feel fear and still move forward, slowly revoking the power fear has over us. We don't have to let fear stop us from living the life we want. We can learn to feel and integrate our fear, and then let it go so that we can move beyond it and achieve our goals.
We can pursue our dreams without fear by connecting with the fullest version of them, understanding and accepting what we truly want, and using that energy to propel us forward. We get to choose how fully we express ourselves and endeavor after what we really want.
