Have no fear

There comes a moment when we realize how much of our living has been shaped by fear.  Fear of rejection.  Fear of failure. Fear of not being enough.Fear of what might happen if we dared to become fully ourselves. 

And then, one day, something shifts.

It’s the gift of our soul's code.  It's the quiet knowing that all of this is just an illusion, a mind game.  Fear may still come knocking on our door, but it's no longer allowed to be in the driver's seat. We now recognize it for what it is, and put it in its rightful place. 

When fear stops you from doing what you've always wanted to do, what you have yet dared to become, take a moment of pause and a deep breath. Create a new manifesto, one that is more aligned with the spirit you know yourself to be.  Allow courage to be the guiding force in your life and your new state of being. 

Take a seat at the table. Belong yourself to whatever circle you are in. Take  the space you need. Be still and quiet. There is a subtle strength in not having to fight to be heard. Speak when you are ready, when you have something to say. Be loud when you need to. Advocate for yourself, act on behalf of another.  Stand tall and strong, head held high. You deserve to feel dignified. And be exactly who you are, act like who and what you wish yourself to be. 

Don't be afraid. There is nothing to fear. Not now. Not ever. Not of anyone. Not of anything. Nothing. Ever again. Listen to me. Not ever again.
