Why are we afraid of fear?

Why are we afraid of fear?

We as humans, are afraid of so many things, some people let fear rule their life. I know that feeling first hand, for years I stayed in a horribly abusive marriage because of fear.

I was afraid he would take my girls, I was afraid of what he would do. I was afraid of not having the big lifestyle anymore. I was afraid of what he would take away from me.

I was afraid of what people would say since they all thought I had it made, that I had the perfect marriage. I was afraid I couldn't make it on my own.(big, big one!)

Fear kept me stuck for years, I was so afraid of change that I stood there being so unhappy and feeling like I was dying inside. Each day, it ate me up a little bit more but even that wasn't enough to make me change.

Yes, fear keeps us hostage in our own life, fear of being vulnerable, of showing our feelings, of telling others the truth. The fear of being alone (oh big one there!) fear of telling someone you love them, or that it is over. Fear of opening up,  or fear of being hurt again. Some people let fear take over their whole lives and it goes to the extreme. They can't leave their homes, they can't drive or walk outside because the fear in their minds has taken full control over their lives.

We even have names for fears that's how many we have now a days.It's called "Phobia" 

How bad is that? 

A name for different kinds of fears, we have given life to our fears by calling them to life

 We have phobia of spiders, a phobia of crying, even a phobia of getting peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth. Yes! I am not lying, I learned that in Mr. Monaco's health class in 10th grade and still remember it because of how stupid it is!

We are letting fear rule us into not living life and what is so bad? What do we fear the most?

The unknown….Yes, that is what we fear most, the unknown. We second guess ourselves every day by saying what if it's not as good? What if I can't…. What if....fill in the blanks with your fears because we have so many of them.

What if we looked at things another way? What if we said, what if it's better than you've ever dreamed? What if you are incredibly happy? What if it was the best decision you ever made?

If I would have known how happy, how peaceful and how much joy I have found since my divorce, I would have done this year's ago!

Yes, I gave up things, but all the material things I had weren't making me happy, so what difference did they make? I wasted years of being miserable when I could have being happy. Now that is a shame.

Look at the big picture here people! Things don't fill your soul! A big house doesn't make you happier. No, you just cry yourself to sleep on nicer sheets, that's all.

What if you wasted your whole life because you were too afraid? How horrible would that be? Well I will tell you, it is horrible and don't allow yourself to be unhappy in a situation for one more day! 

So today my friends, let go of fear, kick it to the curb, tell it, it will no longer control your life. The biggest lesson I learned is life is too short! Do it now!

Step out of fear into faith and embrace change. Trust me when I tell you what an amazing feeling it is when you are finally free!

"Be the change you want to see"
