Yes, the fears often overwhelm me. I know that it is a result of the torture and abuse I went through as a kid until I left for college. It changes a brain. It makes normal things in life somewhat difficult. It can be challenging.
Now, I'm not saying that I accept all of what I've been through and I'm a lost cause. I'm not saying that I don't think things can improve and change. I know they have. I've come a long ways. However, there's that part that still holds me back in life.
How about you? Do you have something holding you back in life? Do you struggle to find the way forward through the fears and anxiety and uncertainty?
I'm able to put fears in perspective...
I know that just by writing about these things, I am able to put the fears in perspective. It is almost like when I expose them, I knock the wind out of fear's momentum. No, it isn't easy. I feel vulnerable at times sharing stuff online. I do it to help push myself through what holds me back in life.
There have been many challenges lately and sometimes I wonder if I can continue to stand and fight against the odds. I'm not a quitter though. I don't give up easily. If I did, I would not have made it this far.
So, for me, just recognizing what is holding me back in life can often help me put the framework around it so I can see it clearly. Once I can see it, I can then make new choices in how I deal with it and what I do with it.
We all have things holding us back in life and some we see, others we don't see. Many times we've conditioned ourselves to just accepting it as a way of life. However, the more we see clearly in life, the more life gives to us and we participate in with possibility.
