A Fearless and Fulfilled Life

The definition of fear is, an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. Notice the words emotion, belief, and likely, within the definition. Fear is seldom a concrete reality in our lives, but rather an emotion or concern that something bad might happen.

Letting Fear Go

In order to successfully live a purposeful life, full of love, compassion, and dreams fulfilled, we have to recognize fear, and tell it to take a hike. We have to start to see fear differently. The fear you feel is coming from within you. You are handing that fear to yourself. Thankfully, you also have everything you need inside of you to conquer fear. You were created to do great things, and overcome obstacles, to live life to the fullest. 

As we read in the definition, fear is an emotion. It is caused by how we view our surroundings, and also by our imagination. Think of a dream or goal you have in life. What is keeping you from trying to reach it? Most likely, fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, and often fear of what others think. The thing is… no one else on earth can attain your goals and dreams for you. If you don’t take a chance, are you okay with accepting that your goals were entirely possible  to reach but because your fears are in  the way? 

Focus on attaining your dreams and goals. When fear creeps in, think hard about where it is coming from. That fear may be a lie, or negative thought telling you only the bad of what could possibly happen. Remember, there is a positive side also, trying to tell you the good of what could happen. It is your choice and your life. If you want to grow and experience all there is for yourself, you’ve got to look fear in the eye, and fight back.

Trust God with Your Fears

We have someone on our side, ready and willing to help us let those false fears go, that hold us back from a fulfilled life. Simply letting go of fear is not exactly simple. Some fears we cling to for a good portion of our lives. We don’t just wake up one morning and decide we no longer fear. A great place... the best place to start, is with prayer. Tell God your fears. He already knows anyway, and wants to take them from you. You will be amazed at the peace this can bring you. Remember, God created you with a purpose in mind. We only get a short time on this earth to enjoy the journey of discovering that purpose. As it starts to unravel, and you begin to see that purpose, don’t allow fear to steal that blessing which awaits you.
