Face your Fears

Today is National Face Your Fears Day (on some calendars). So, what's your fear? Trish always says things to me such as, "I am amazed at all that you can do." Or, "It is impressive all the things you know and can accomplish." From this we can determine a couple of things: Trish is a really good person, and she is easily impressed.

The fact of the matter is, and I have told this to Trish each time she compliments me in this manner, is I am not afraid to fail. I tell her that what separates me from some others is that I am willing to make a complete mess of things. Now, as I have shared before, I have cost us several dollars by trying to undertake things myself. However, if it needs to be done, I will try to do it. But, what is your fear?

Today's word is a quote from Theodore Roosevelt, which says, "Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing."

We all have things that we fear that keep us from moving to the next chapter in our lives. I have shared before that FEAR has two meanings: 1. Forget Everything And Run or 2. Face Everything And Rise, the choice is ours. There's also another meaning to fear that I like to share: False Evidence Appearing Real. We are often bound up by something we believe, which is completely untrue.

So, as we take on the challenge of facing our fears today, let's keep in mind that most of the time, fear is a false illusion. And, every time we overcome a fear, each time we refuse to run from fear, each time we face our fear, we will become stronger, more courageous, and more confident. Face your Fears!

Be Blessed,
