With a little bit of focus, effort, and courage you’ll see that situations around you that make you feel anxious and overwhelmed are caused by the simple fact that you are scared out of your mind to live your life in the unknown.
Lay down your fear. Step over it quietly.
Have confidence in the fact that you’ve come this far using a skillful combination of:
- wits,
- help from those who love you,
- and luck (let’s be honest).
Do you see the baby who is crawling or walking for the first time? That’s you. That is us. Each step is one into this mysterious world.
It’s okay to retreat sometimes. It’s fine to fall occasionally. We all go through it. We have felt what you’re feeling.
Remember, inside of you is a curiosity we all possess. It’s a hunger that must be fed. Much like oxygen, food, and water we need new experiences to survive our lives and to overcome ourselves.
Please, don’t despair. Take that step.
It may lead to danger but you are courageous.
The Joy may just be around the next curve.
Be brave.
