My son My daughter Remember When the truth gets choked out by questions I have commanded you to be strong and courageous But for some reason I keep letting my flesh direct me, Thus I walk in uncertainty as if anxiety was the cross, road that paid for my blood stained freedom The only true answer is vertical, you don't have to keep feeling down Just learn to walk with His spirit like the best friend you talk to everyday Tell Him everything your mind keeps secret Allow vulnerability to breathe and you won't have to keep holding your breath Then Fall in love with fear, because to do so means you no longer have to listen to failure Because falling allows you the opportunity to get back up should you choose to So, remember when you run out of options you still have a choice Meditate with fear and have the conversation you've been avoiding Make it easy Like it's 9 pm and the minutes are free Like your in love walking around the house on anything but the floor Listen to fear So you can hear the direction you should be moving toward Hear the speed of your heartbeat and let your steps match the pattern Run toward fear not away from it Face your fears like you're looking in the mirror Affirm your confidence through your fear Fear doesn't have to be a frozen abyss or a mask Make fear the smile that shines no matter what; because every page is a chance to learn Make fear the sunrise before you enter the next chapter Make fear the rose peeking from the sidewalk away from the others Make fear normal and growth will become as common as a weekday p.s. I made my fear wear faith instead...

Excellent advise! Fear brings you to a live or die moment…live in courage, possibly die a hero…or live in cowering and die anyway. Of course, most of us don’t die physically but we could lose the best parts of ourself. Enjoyed this very much!

Very true indeed, learning to live in the moment of fear transitioning from running from fear is what makes strength stand out.
