FEAR NOT!

BE DARING! FEAR NOT!
A few days ago, I was about to go for my run. It was already dark but I was determined to run nonetheless.
The moment I stepped into my driveway, I noticed a creature moving right in front of me, a few metres ahead.
For a second, I was gripped by fear wondering what it might be - a cat or a dog.
For a minute, my mind started to process the information - "If it's a stray dog, then I'm in trouble but if it's a cat, I should be fine".
I couldn't make any progress until for a while as I was just there wondering what it was.
All of a sudden, I remembered why I wanted to run so I decided I won't let fear stop me. I moved forward with courage and I soon noticed the creature ran away.
Alas! It was a cat!
Why am I sharing this with you?
How many times have you allowed fear to halt you in your tracks in life?
Because of the many "what ifs" in your head and mind, you have refused to make progress.
You are not fulfilling purpose because, "what if it doesn't pay the bills?" "What if your parents don't like the idea?"
What if this, what if that.
I am daring you to let go of every fear and just choose to take a step.
You would notice that the very thing you are afraid of, is also afraid of you.
FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real.
It's not REAL.
Don't let it stop you. Remember, your WHY, and let it build courage inside of you.
You have all it takes. You have within you the intestinal fortitude to push beyond every fear and barriers.
You can do it!
I believe in you.
