Our fear is wrapped around hurting our loved ones.
We hide behind the shadows of our idols and when we need to make decisions- we ask ourselves
“would they approve?”
Fear has an interesting way of controlling the mind. We believe that if we feel fear we need to run away from it- but what do we gain from it?
What we fear will come back to us until we eventually face it- and then it becomes another regular object that passes us by.
And why do we care so much about approval when we are the deciders.
And why would we pass up an opportunity that we have been dreaming of our whole lives to satisfy a society that anyways isn’t consistent?
Sometimes- we disappoint the people we love.
Sometimes what we want and who we are no longer aligns or has never aligned with their beliefs.
And you feel as if you failed- because you couldn’t satisfy. But the truth to it all- is that running away from fear means disappointing ourselves.
There is no winning- there is no losing.
The ones who truly love you will stay and eventually accept your decision-even if they will never understand.
And the ones who don’t- are people you don’t need in your life anyways.
Fear is an invitation- and disappointment is part of decision making. The question is, do you want to live a life you want or will you stay hidden behind shadows that you eventually outgrow?
