Fear can run life if you believe the hype. If the sale speech in your head, between your ears, that you let in, that you allow to walk past your eyelids and into your mind, if all that hits home. If you buy in. Fear is just a fairy tale that people believe in to make it alive. When the enemy looks at you and calls you tiny, shitty, weak, guilty, mean, hate-filled the next step FOR THEM is you buying in. Your own will will is required to create fear.
Dangerous things can cause harm if that danger is aroused and realized. Dangerous things can be badass and fun if danced upon and teased, it livens up the situation. Each step is both precarious and beautiful such as a figure skater puts effort, power, and practiced thought and planning and wonder and hope and joy and not fear or they will not have room for the rest. If one can’t see themselves walking this beautiful path atop danger then danger already has the majority stock-hold in that heart’s shares. When danger rears its head, make sure to realize that you now have a ramp and not just pain in front of you. Believe in yourself and use this, do not fear it. You will be greater because and when you beat it.
Biggest problem of fear is catching it in action. Many times folks become ever so flustered with their worries and stumble in their actions that they dont realize how they are stumbling or the greatness of their stride. Biggest strength of fear is we don’t see it pulling our puppet strings. Instrumental to its success is the lack of knowledge that it exists. We can be lost in our own action, caught in the whirl wind of oppositional and confusing emotion, we can be toppling between work we MUST do but we can’t see the fear. Once we catch it, it slows but it does not stop. Anxiety, depression, phobias, stresses, expectations can be identified and the emotional upheaval ripped from our strong foundations help watch as our own gravity topple down the great skyscrapers we’re destined to stand as. So keep a constant mind.
In an ever changing world, such as the one you and I know exist in, it is an insult to yourself to not be constantly conscious of who you are. “Every action” can sound scary to the fearful, exciting to the excited and ambiguous to the hopeful and the in between. All you ever need is three deep breathes, a look without your eyes around yourself to see how you are standing and feeling and acting, and a heading for who you want to be. Keep in mind that every action is a chance, not a test or a requirement or a need or an expectation but a chance, to be an incredible being. Every action you make can be a change towards greatness for the entire world because the world is new now; RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, IT IS NEW! And you can be the greatness this world needs by following your heart and using your imagination. Being constantly conscious of that option and of the turning clock of renewal is not hard but great and easy. Its being real and if you are not being real to yourself then you being real to something else.
So fuck it all up. Break your finger, insult your lover, say the stupidest thing at the board meeting, fall flat on your face off the half-pipe in front of the newspaper, wear something that makes you look gaudy and fat. DO it!! And then take measure of the world you are running from. Or from the world that is running you, because that is how fear works. This world you scream no at, run from, desperately deny existence is running you if you are afraid. This story is making your story what it is. That tail whags you; and you’re not a fucking dog. Embrace this failure so you can see this failure. But do it in your mind, just look and feel at it. Imagine it all happening, and most important look at what happens next. Fear is the pinnacle of life! It all ends here, Jesus comes back, Fonzie Jumps a Shark, and Dumbledore dies! Open the fucking door and you’ll see whats really in the haunted house is nothing. The fear is only great if you don’t open it.
At the bottom is where one can only look up. Unlock your own potential by acknowledging the fear as each step you make matters and looking down the road that fear screams drama and sale about. You will see nothing and when you see it, you can move on. This is a way to beat fear, by acknowledging and feeling the outcomes out.
