Letâs talk about fear. Why is it so crippling? So palpable, yet unseen. Feels real, yet unreal.
Sometimes itâs the uncertainty, the questioning, the what ifs, and the âcan Iâ really?The fear of being inadequate, the fear of not being enough, the fear of failure, the fear of the unknown and the fear of not belonging.
Questions like:
Am I alone?
Do I have enough?
Do I know enough?
Will I be enough?
have filled my mind from time to time.
If youâre also going through this, Youâre not alone.
On some days, I remind myself thereâs no need to be afraid. On some other days, I canât get it out of my head, and I hate that feeling. Maybe itâs okay to be afraid then, but Iâve only recently found out that Fear only has as much power as we give it.
So day by day, Iâm learning to figure out how to deal with fear. Today, I decide to raise my head high like a champ.Â
Whatâs the worst that could happen?
This weekâs lesson
