There are few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.

All of these actions require several decisions. The decision to take time to take care of it. The decision to press on through, even when it is difficult. The decision to see yourself as a person of worth, so you will surround yourself with what you truly value in your life. However, the biggest decision is to work through the fear.
The reason, we do not attack or make decisions about many things, is FEAR. Fear is ever present in the decision making process. We are afraid of letting go. We are afraid of getting rid of something we might need. We are afraid of being alone. We are afraid of making the wrong decision. We are afraid of change. We are afraid of success. We are afraid of failure. We are afraid of what other people will think of us. We are afraid we will upset someone. We are afraid we won't do it just right.
Peel back the layers and at the root of many of your indecision, you will very possibly find fear. When you know what you are fighting, it is much easier to fight back.
Fear holds me back quite often, which isn't a good thing!
ReplyDeleteSophie, you are not alone in that. Sometimes being willing to do things, even though you feel afraid, will help you move forward and learn to be less afraid.
DeleteFear of change will always keep us it that rut. Well said!
ReplyDeleteThe fear of change or the fear of not changing! One will eventually weigh out or we truly will live in a rut.
