..."we have nothing to FEAR but FEAR itself..." (FDR)

“without FEAR there cannot be courage.” (Christopher Paolini)...


...there is this notion of FEAR that looms among us...that in a day we FEAR that we will royally screw up, that we will mess up at work, we will say the wrong thing, we will hurt those that we love, we will look the wrong way, that we will be in the wrong place at the wrong time, that we will miss a moment or several moments, & it will be too late to say what we need to say, or do what we need to do...there is this FEAR that sometimes holds us back from being, from living the life we want or we know is right...there is a FEAR that strangles us and we end up living in FEAR rather than living to live...

...so how do we deal with something that is so present in our life that to not think about FEAR is almost like breathing; it happens without us even realizing it...without even knowing, we breathe, without even thinking FEAR sets in...& then we are caught or held back...so do we deal or do we say f*@# it, and let it loom, let it feel like it might hold us back & then don't let it & live knowing that it didn't because guess what, FEAR doesn't really hold us back, we do...& then know that you took the leap, you put it all out there, you said what you needed to say, you did what you needed to do & you lived even with FEAR staring you in the face...

...FEAR only has meaning when we provide it purpose; otherwise it is just a word, with 4 letters...& that's it...
