Don't fear FEAR!

Some days are really strange, for they reveal what's been hiding in the heart. Today, as I logged on to Facebook, two messages greeted me. And interestingly, they both carry the same message. GET OVER YOUR FEAR. The one from Message from God reads: 

there is fear and then there is courage.

When you feel fear, have the courage to acknowledge it and it will begin to lose its power. It is only when you pretend it isn't there, that it grows.

And another one from author Doreen Virtue's page says, "Don't allow fear to win a place in your heart, mind or this world."

It's ironic for fear is what I've been dealing with for the past week or so. Fear or as some say FEAR= False Evidence Appearing Real is not to be taken lightly. They say fear targets faint-hearted, I am certainly not a strong hearted person, for horror movies and dark rooms scare me like a small child. 

This fear which engulfed my heart was certainly different, it threatened to alter my being entirely. A firm believer in thinking good and positive thoughts, I struggled with allaying my fears about attracting ill-health.

Unfortunately, a dear friend of mine was recently diagnosed with facial paralysis, even though I've asked her to think positive and chant affirmations, the same could not be said about me. This friend, who's a life of a party and a very strong girl, was left perplexed by this sudden change. Though, she picked herself up and is working on herself, I was left to deal with my fear alone. I couldn't share this with anyone, not with her in the least, for not only it sounds stupid, but some might say selfish. Hmmm.....

I also realised that you can't really choose your fears, they just come as they please. Sad, but true! You can surely ignore the gross feeling (try your logic) but the more you ignore, the more stubborn they get.

Prayers, channeling, helped but not much. I got all the signs that all is well, but you think my EGO would let me pay heed. I had to be smarter than my EGO and calm it, win over it without it even knowing. I'm still trying, haven't conquered it yet, but I can smell victory! 

At a time like this, you can't be too harsh on yourself. Try showing love to yourself. When you realise that fear is fear, and that sometimes, our thoughts can be silly, you eventually see the bigger picture and force yourself to come out of this self-created situation. :D Thank God for small miracles and bigger gift of life. The power of intention and manifestation for things that can make a difference and not get sucked up in your cocoon.
