Fear Rules Everything Around Me
Know Yourself #16
What is the dominant emotion in your life right now? How can you use this emotion to improve your life?
Even when I’m not scared, I’m scared The devil on my shoulder is fear and there’s only so much hope I can muster inside a forlorn future
It will blow over, but then come back We don’t have enough supplies for our health-care workers, but I should feel safe?
I’d like to use my fear for all its worth Pressing it into a morning juice but when something is valueless, how do you use it effectively?
Do I reframe my mindset in the face of adversity and adjust my outlook even when blackout shades make it too dark to see?
Fear rules everything around me Not cash, not power, just fear It tackles me when I walk It drowns me when I sleep
My life is full-blown terror And I need a panacea to curb these thoughts and walk them upright again
When I’m at my best I take that fear and channel it but instead of it broadcasting I just change the channel
The only way I can improve my life is to actually appreciate it I am safe, I am with family I am not alone
I can look into fear’s eyes even if it dominates me from morning to night because it’s only a mirror away
But if I persist and go forth through the eyes and into myself I realize that it’s the fear that is actually keeping me safe
