Face your fears
<p>It's funny how life's secrets are hidden in plain sight. You hear a lot about fears, and how you need face them.</p><p><br></p><p>This led me to reason why the statement like other wise sayings rang true. This statement implies that you will at one point or another come face to face with that one fear that has lived in the corner of your mind. It also implies that this meeting will be inevitable, the only question is "will you conquer it, or let it conquer you?"</p><p><br></p><p>Many have spoken on how thoughts conjured by the mind can manifest in life, there are many terms for it depending on your belief; faith, law of attraction, self belief. As I pondered on this topic, life like always brought something to help me along; a post by Pastor Femi Lazarus. He said "Fear is creative, and the devil needs to know your fear to design your attack. Hence being called weapons fashioned against you."&nbsp;</p><p>That would explain why you see the quote "Fear not." Repeatedly (though part may be due to the scary appearance of the messengers😂).<br></p><p><br></p><p>I will take it a step further. Life is in phases, to get into the next phase you will have to face certain tests. These tests push you to the limit, but the older we get we realise that it built us up and made us stronger. Thesame thing happens with these tests, when you face them you realise that you had not reason to be afraid in the first place. This brings you confidence and peace, you see that the fear you wrestled was more scary in your imagination and just a shadow which disappears when you step into the light.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Live and experience life, do the best you can, care for those around you and face that thing that makes you cringe and freeze today.<br></p>
