my fear is my strength

fear is the birth child of ignorance. a wise person shared that mantra with me and it will remain my security blanket. you cannot switch mantras and i am not giving up on this one. it has pushed me forward when i have regressed backwards. it has given me stamina to keep going. i agree when fear looks you right in the face all sensation subsides, all reasoning dissipates and a calm serene bath of protection takes over. its like you step outside of yourself and you do not experience any of the proposed or assumed side effects. there is no sweat, no heavy breathing, no tears. my fear is really so much more than my strength-it's my teacher.

you can feel something, think it in your head and believe it. it is the person bold enough to write it down to be quoted with it. be brave enough to be the one to reveal it.

If you’re really listening, if you’re awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold evermore wonders.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

The sun reminds us that our own shining truth is never extinguished. Our light shines within us at all times, no matter what else occurs around us. Though the sun gives us daily proof of its existence, sometimes our belief in our own light requires more time. Patience. Practice.

This is what I know: memory is the same as water. It permeates and saturates. Quenches and satiates. It can hold you up or pull you under; render you weightless or drown you. It is tangible, but elusive. My memories are like this: the watery dreams of the past I can no more easily grasp than a fistful of the ocean. Some days they buoy me. Other days they threaten me with their dangerous draw. Memory. Water. Our bodies are made of it; it is what we are. I can no longer separate myself from my recollections. On the best days, on the worst days, I believe I have dissolved into them.
