August Fear

At this point, halfway through the month, I find myself hesitating at every single step, like I need to take stock of my life from every aspect, every single minute…

I’m exhausted and I question if I’m overthinking.

A friend, over a call today, said she’s started to be OCD, sanitising every single item constantly and religiously taking showers every time she gets home.

Whenever we start doing anything in a totally different way, we begin ponder about whether it’s okay or just plain extreme.

So the lesson begins, discovering through action and consequences, before finally learning that we gotta learn to balance, and it has to be a lifestyle.

This brings me to the topic of FEAR. Fear has such a strong effect, and Fear has affected many lives, especially now since the lockdown.

I dislike that word so much. Fear to me is like an opponent whom I’m stuck with, in a boxing rink that I cannot escape. If I win, the battle resets the next day.

Fear seems to grow when I grow.

But without fear, how else can growth happen?

A stranger-angel, came into my life today with a message: Fear is the result of lack of taking action.

Lack of taking action…

Reasons for lack of action:

Fear -> Lack knowledge -> Lack experience -> No action -> (back to Fear)

An endless cycle.

But increase ACTION, and you’ll find yourself increasing knowledge and experience, thus able to overcome Fear.

Action can be fueled by motivation, dreams and goals.

For me, action is ultimately fueled by LOVE.

This current season has shown me the people who genuinely love, and what a resource of wealth that is.

I can’t stop now. There’s no throwing in the towel, even when you run out of money and friends, there’s still time, there’s still breath, there’s still life left to live, and true friends (gems) to meet.

Perfect love casts out fear 💓
