The Flight of Fear

It can swallow us whole.

Eat us.

Our response to a trigger inside. Something the brain tells us.

To leave.

Be afraid of.

Wilt away from.

Unable to face.

Is it anxiety or an emotion?

Inside of us the turmoil rips and tares.

It stings.

Resting heavy.

Akin to the darkness of the night.

Intuitively, you know. Soon this fear shall pass.

Yet, our heart plays tricks.

The mind says so. The body listens.

But, like the surge of an airplane taking off. We can also choose to let it go.

To leave it behind.

Watch the gush of water sparkling over shiny rocks in a forest flowing steadily downstream. 
There is no turning back.

Stand tall.

Let it go.

Feel how the love of the Universe abounds.

Look up.

Focus.

Let the stars in the sky take the flight of your fears away.

Honesty

Retrace your life’s path and ask yourself,

truly. Have I been honest with myself every single step of the way?
The answer most likely is NOT.

Did you bend your beliefs and your heart’s light for someone else? Or because you were afraid to speak out?

For whatever reason – that’s probably a yes.

Where has that taken you today?

Be really honest.  

Insights, gut feelings, anxiety… you know when. When you’re not being honest with yourself. When you’re not following your heart. When you’re not being true to yourself.

Could our paths be different if we were completely and utterly true to ourselves – all of ourselves?

To live and let live.

We need honesty.
