So I got this book to read, “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” I thought it was a good topic to write about. What is fear? In the words of my favorite Jedi master, Yoda “fear leads to the dark side.” It’s when you are afraid and allow it to control your life that you are paralyzed and unwilling to do anything. That’s the dark side Yoda spoke about. When your mind cannot let go of the fear or try to move beyond it. But how do you get brave enough to feel the fear and do it anyway? How do you let go and know you will be safe on the other side or at the bottom when you jump? How do you get up if you fail and try again? How do we behave like babies just learning to walk and try and try until we get it? It takes looking at the final destination and deciding that come hell or high water you will make it. It can be done, you just have to know where you’re going. Not necessarily how, but where. Point yourself in the right direction and go. That’s how life should be lived. If you sit waiting for the right time, that right time might never come.
I don’t know if it was bravery or stupidity that allowed me to do many of the things that I did throughout my life. I would know I wanted to do something and just get up and go do it. What I figured helped me was the fear of looking back on that part of my life and regret not having tried. If you let the fear rule you then you will never be able or willing to try. Never just let that fear paralyze you. Even if you are afraid still go for it. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife.

Quote on the wall as a teenager: James Baldwin “do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain “
That’s what I’m talking about.
Fear can actually paralyze you so you end up not experiencing some exciting adventures. Getting over fear is not easy but you have to grit your teeth and do what needs to be done. I’m terrified of heights and as a result I’ve missed some wonderful experiences. I have to step out in faith and know that I have to trust God to help me to get over my fears. Great topic.
Fear takes away from experiences.
