I came to the conclusion, that I was paying way to much attention to fear in my life.
We are so consumed by worries, anxiety and fear!
Everyone is constantly wondering, what will the future bring?
We all know that nagging feeling. All the what if's. And the constant worry about “tomorrow”.
And the one time we don't fear, other people come and ask why the hell we don't fear, making sure we fear again. Because people fear. It's always been this way, it always will be this way!
REALLY?
What if we stopped fearing?
What if we actually stop fearing and just went for it?
What would life be without fear??
So 2014 just began and everyone is making goals for the next year..
This year I decided to become FEARLESS.. well, at least to fear less ;)
I realized that what's holding me back the most is fear. Simple, stupid fear. And in the few times I overcome it I have to admit, that the fear that was trying to hold me back in the first time was stupid, not even worth thinking about anymore.
Bill Johnson said it really well:
“Fear is a self fulfilling prophecy. It invites the very thing you are afraid of!”
I don't know if you like the bible or not. I like it. It gives me life. I think it has one of best life advices. But however you think about it, the Bible says it a lot: “fear not” or “don't be afraid”. Some people even say it says it 365 times, so for each day one “fear not”. Well if so or not, fact is, God says it a lot to His people, throughout the entire bible. So I guess, it has some kind of importance.
I've always read those phrases as an advice, “Fear not for I am with you”.
What if we actually take that as a command and not just a nice suggestion?
What if we actually take Him seriously? What if we actually say, “If you say, don't fear, then I won't”?
I want to try it. I want to dare not to fear. If all the world tells us to fear, I wanna be the one that says NO, I actually believe, that when God says “Fear not, for I am with you”, that He will be there!
We all experienced it. Once we overcame our fear it actually worked pretty well. It wasn't as bad as we thought it would be.
Why the heck are we actually listening to that “fear”?
We all know, fear is our biggest enemy, so why don't we decide to go against it?
Why don't we try to live life to the fullest, kick fear in the bud and actually do what we always wanted to do??
I don't wanna look back some day and wonder what would have been if I actually dared to live? I wanna look back and say, I had fear, but I overcame it and dared to follow my dreams, against all doubts, prejudices and worries, I actually did it and it was great!!
