What fears have you overcome and how?

This is an interesting question, as it would have gone hand in hand with the religious prompt from last week.

When I practiced Christianity, I had a fear of everything. Things that weren’t even real. (Hell, for example).

The more I began to think for myself, the less fear I held inside my heart.

I think everyone’s journey will be different. I chose to understand myself and existence. There were some nights I laid awake thinking about existentialism, and spirituality, but a lot of my answers I got from thinking and understanding.

Though there are times I experience anxiety, I always remind myself that nothing is wrong. Or, I’ll say, “I should calm down, it will work out.”

Mulling things over, epiphanies while washing the dishes. Laughing at my fears I once held.

In most cases, things have worked out. Especially when I moved away from trapped and controlled thinking. I can recall how nothing worked out due to my fear, and when I let my fear go…things panned out. Smoothly.

I believe we create our realities since I’ve had the experience of fearing everything, and fearing almost nothing at all. That mindset shapes my world, and people can feel this type of energy.

Some will go to say, “what about war or famine?” All man made things to create reactions…to dictate how a group of people feel. Manipulation of others energy is probably the most blasphemous thing you can do…as it’s everyone’s charge to love and create. But when we make situations to create fear, anxiety…distrust…

Take a step back and ask why. Other than, humans causing issues have issues themselves, it’s all goes back to a simple statement. Misery enjoys company.

I gathered all thoughts from all of my experiences, things I’ve seen and understood, and this helps me realize there isn’t much that scares me.

Breaking free from that type of thinking, or the need to be afraid and have something to talk about, will change just about everything in your life.

This isn’t to say – be completely foolish and do as you wish. Understanding limitations and being respectful should always be on one’s mind. In fact, people who pretend to be fearless and are rebellious in terms of hurting others for some practical and meaningless goal…are arguably afraid themselves.

You can visit a psychiatrist, learn about yourself and have everything written down. You can read books, go to conferences, and so on. But doing the hard work yourself is how you break free from it.
