Fear is a part of our build

I learnt something this past week. YOU ASK FOR PEACE, not because that’s what you want (because human nature – we are drawn to where wahala resides) BUT BECAUSE WE FEAR THE TAG OF LOSING (LOSS).

Fear is a part of our build. It’s part of the lines and strokes that make us. Without fear, we won’t see (feel) the importance of something or someone.

I fear being left behind, so I rather just go and I go, following blindly. But fear does not have to be a negative.

No, fear can be a positive too. It’s okay to be scared. It’s okay to feel fear, but it’s wrong to accommodate fear too long, you suppress all openings of a better way.

I used to be scared of everything. When I was younger, I feared darkness, now I’m terrified of light. Like if I stayed visible for too long, even just for a short while, I would be exposed.

Like my hidings will flame up.

And that’s a bad thing, that I am so convinced that my bad outweighs my good. So I keep the little bit of good in the darkness and just allow the bad to float.

I fear not being appreciated. I hate it when I’m not given credit for something I did, no matter how small, so I fear – that my worth is not seen.

That my value isn’t as visible as all the motivational speakers say it is.

Basically, I fear all the fears that I fear. I fear my fears. *Laughs*

I fear being taking advantage of, so I say to anyone who is in the habit of making me feel stupid, Don’t do that, I may not understand what that and that is, but I’m not stupid.

The fear of being scared of someone who should never be a threat is crazy. Now, that’s another level of fear, and shouldn’t even happen.

Like I said, it’s okay to feel scared, I believe it’s our minds way of either

• protecting us from danger

• giving us a go ahead

So don’t run away from fear. Don’t run away from losing. Don’t settle for something, that with a little bit more push, you could get it all.

Pay attention to the patterns in your life. When something negative continues to repeat itself, it often means you are yet to learn the lesson. ((UNKNOWN))
