On The Other Side Of Fear Lies Freedom sergeivanbellinghen.com /side-fear-lies-freedom/ Sergei VanBellinghen
Most of the time, everything we want is on the other side of fear, but many are brought to a standstill by the risk of the unknown to reach desires. Once we decide to face our fears, we then find out that there lies freedom. Yet, countless people are still afraid to take a leap despite the possible rewards.
Why? Is it the risk to get out there to live your dreams and fail? Do you believe you do not have enough faith in your abilities? Are you thinking you would lose all you have if you jump into the unknown? Well, like in anything, there is always a risk; that is life. But if you will never try, you will never know. And if you do have dreams, then everything you have now means that you want more out of life and that those desires are on the other side of fear. First and foremost, you need to be committed to the journey of finding what lies on the other side of your fears. Yes, it is true; there is no map for it but is there any for your current existence? So it is about having the faith to leap and walk towards your dreams despite the fear, the doubts, or the pain, you may encounter. I understand that many of you out there are dealing with some challenging times at the current moment. I also realize how difficult it is to keep believing when the blows are flying your way or coming harshly. And I know how it feels when you struggle just to keep your head above water. As the same time, what is on the other side of fear is only a vague understanding that holds you back and the reason for being unable to reach your full potential. And yes, it is effortless to tell yourself or imagine the person you want who is happy, loving and successful but you have to walk the talk. Yet, you know that wanting, wishing, and thinking is not the same as doing and becoming.
Your Worst Enemy Is Not Fear You are your own worst enemy! The reason is simple. You refuse to take your situation into your own hands, yet you complain about wanting more, about the lack of abundance or the unhappiness that is in your life. But you would be amazed if you realize that you are the only one that has your destiny in your hands. Not some divine being but you, and only You! God or any divine being you believe in are not going to bring you on the other side of fear to things you want while you are sitting on your couch. You still have to take action for things to happen. So understand that fear is a natural part of life. Many of your fears have their roots in your childhood and the way you have been brought up. However, you often hide your fears deep within you and avoid facing them. Furthermore, you even ignore the origin of these fears, so much so, that they end up haunting you at times when you are an adult. We have all spent time in our lives being afraid. It might be the fear of surrender, the fear of losing control or just pretend to be someone you are not. To get on the other side of fear, you might have to overcome crippling anxieties that prevent you from moving on in your life. You need to realize that you cannot have it all figured out. There is a long road ahead of you. I do not believe that the ride ever actually ends. 1/3
