A LION JUMPED IN FRONT OF MY
CAR…
© June 1, 2017
…but I sat there and waited
it out, he left and I moved on with my day.
There’s no home safe enough, no relationship secure enough, no person
sane enough, no situation perfect enough to escape change…and I should know as
I have fought it every step of the way since the day I was blessed into this
world. We are our own worst enemy when
it comes to fears and “what-if’s.” Those
of us with huge imaginations go one step further because if we run out of things
to fear, we just make up stuff, and not even on purpose…lol…sad, but true.
What if a lion did
jump in front of your car…what would you do?
If you think about it, there is no other choice but for it to work
out. If you stay in your car, it would
realize it couldn’t get to you even if it wanted to and move on down the road,
if it were even curious about you in the first place…you would then go on with
your journey and that situation would have worked out just fine. Worse case scenario, you end up sitting there
for a long time, but you live and you move on.
We all let fear rule our lives and yet, if we realized at the time it is
happening that there is no such thing as fear we would eliminate so much stress
from our lives. Every situation
will work out…it has no other choice. It
may not always work out the way you want it to, but it will work out. More often than not the fear of a situation
is in the “what if…” and in these instances it helps to remember there is no
“what if,” there is only…what is.
If you break it down slowly,
as it happens, and cope with each part of it, the situation at hand will seem
less fearful. First deal with the why…ask
why you are afraid in that moment? Are
you projecting into the future? Are you
basing fear on something that may happen simply because it has in the past or
even because your mind tells you there is no other way? How could you know? If you are not a person who has the gift of E.S.P,
then how could you possibly know the future? Answer these questions and you relieve
the fear. Practice this in every
fear-based situation, and eventually you abolish irrational fear from your
life. Fight-or-flight (fear in dangerous
and real situations) is a necessary thing for survival, but irrational fear is
not. It hinders way more than it could
ever help.
The key to success when
making changes in your life is this…never let anyone force you into doing
anything you don’t want to do at that time.
It takes time to eliminate fear…it takes time to effectuate change in
any way, but it absolutely, positively must be done at your own pace…no one
else’s. It will work out…every
time…have faith in yourself, you’re worth it.
