I will be at peace when... fear no longer determines what I do not do.
Until today, you may have believed that if you could avoid being hurt, you would live a peaceful life.
Just for today, consider all of the life, love and peace you are missing out on in your attempt to avoid being hurt.
Today I am opening my heart to the fullness of life and love with no expectation of being hurt.
Iyanla Vanzant, “Until Today!”
Fear that one TINY error will undo EVERYTHING I've ever done is no way to live! I didn’t realize how long I have been living in fear! Daily. Unnecessarily. Shortly before I met my husband, I was told that I had too many rules. As a single mother (at the time), I HAD to have those rules for the protection of myself and my children. Now that I'm married and have someone helping me protect myself and our children, my fear has lessened. Not completely dissolved but diminishing day by day. I still find myself cautious of sharing my fears with my husband simply because I don’t want to appear weak and helpless but no one can help me if they don’t know what is wrong or going on with me. He can’t help me with everything but holding on to those fears wasn’t helping anyone, most especially me. Taking baby steps, I am sharing more with my husband and loved ones, telling myself that by doing so I am making myself stronger when I share my fears.
Until next time
