Come Out With Your Hands Up

Like a scary monster hiding in the shadows, fear looms in our peripherals. It seems unavoidable. It’s part of the ride of being human. It comes with the software. So, what’s a frontal lobe to do?

I have come to realize, more often than not, these demons are blocking the path to my highest good. Consequently, I have found myself on detours I didn’t expect to take, on my way to somewhere I didn’t want to go, doing things I didn’t want to do.

Nowadays, as often as possible, I reach out and grab the shadowy thing by the leg and drag it out into the light. Some take a little more work and courage than others, some throw their hands up and surrender immediately. The good news is, simply recognizing fear, a projected illusion, is sometimes all it takes to get your wings back.

Or, you may find the wings you never knew you had.
