Why does fear cripple us? We all have some sort of fear in our lives and it manifests in different ways. I know when I have to make a major decision in my life, I always find a new project to distract myself. I almost took a job at the Mac store today in a effort to self sabotage my own personal project... Karma Sisters. I now can recognize my trigger. I am the master of over doing... I heard from another friend who spent the day physically ill, paralyzed and silent in her own fear. Got me thinking about life is like a river. Every river has a beautiful calm spot where the birds are singing and the water is crisp, clean and inviting. As you venture further down, a giant log jam appears just enough to put you on guard. Then of course, you hear the rushing of the water and suddenly the pace of the water picks up. You know your approaching a steep waterfall and its life or death. You can grasp all the branches you want but your going over. Fighting only makes it worse, sometimes you have to just go with the flow. The greatest glory is looking from the bottom of the falls. The sound of the water, the vapors drifting and the pristine pool of water. To me that is conquering the fear, when you get to look back and say I did it. I survived and I am ok.
