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, 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 or take away from me. I was afraid of what people would say, because they all thought I had it made. (In reality it was all a front.) 

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. So unhappy, dying inside more and more each day but even that wasn't enough to make me change. 

Yes, fear keeps us hostage even in our own life. Fear of being vulnerable, of showing our feelings, of telling others the truth. We have a fear of being alone (oh, big one there!) Fear of telling someone you love them, fear of opening up, or fear of being hurt again. Some people let fear take over and go to the extreme, as they can't leave their homes, they can't drive or walk outside.

We have names for fears, that's how many fears we have nowadays. It's called "Phobias" How about that? 

A name for different kinds of fears. We have given life to fears, a 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, it's called Arachibutyrophobia. 

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, the what if it's not as good? What if it's bad? 

What if....fill in the blanks with your own fears. 

What if it's better than you've ever dreamed? 

What if you're 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 it years ago! 

Yes, I gave up things, but all the material things I had weren't making me happy anyway, so what difference did they make?

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.

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 that life is too short! Do it now!

Step out of faith and embrace change, it is an amazing feeling to be free!

Don't be afraid of fear.
