We have to understand that there are 2 types of fear
We have to understand the usefulness of these 2 types of fear
One is instinctual – the fear we need to survive
One is of the unfamiliar – it keeps us from living our lives as our true selves
Practice courage to overcome the latter
Courage not to be controlled by your fear
Courage to be the observer of your fear
Not to supress the fear, to master your fear
When life gets challenging do not turn and run to your safety net, that is your prison. Face it, head on, as an observer. Breathe. Learn the lessons the fear holds – understand what your wonderful life is patiently teaching you
SO challenge yourself everyday this week by doing something you would normally be fearful of.
It could be telling someone the truth – while remembering Ahimsa – non violence
Going somewhere alone
Maybe sitting and doing absolutely nothing
See what happens to your sense of self
And how your relationships change because you are courageously stepping into new territory
