"To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom."
'People have a hard time letting go of their suffering.
Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.'' Thich Nhat Hanh.
Most
of us are controlled by fear, in one form or another. As much as we try
to deny it , fear has an effect on all of us. The fear is greater for
some than others, while some may be afraid to come out of the house
after dark , or be afraid to drive on the roads for fear of being killed
in a so-called accident, for most it takes much more than this to
arouse our deepest fears.
Many go to extremes to
conquer fear,
such as sky diving or traveling deep into the Amazon in search of native
tribes and wildlife, confronting them to conquer whatever fear they may
have. The list can go on and on , and in this sense we could never
confront and conquer all our fears, as soon as we conquer one fear,
another arises.
The only true way to truly conquer fear is to put
our life in control of a higher power. This doesn't mean to give up
control of our life, it just means to let go and go on. We still have
control over our actions and our destiny.
Secret to Life
When we let go, we
still chart our course in life, however we leave the path and direction
to a higher power. In this sense we are always given choices and the
option to choose which path to take. We fear nothing because we believe
no harm can come to us and every event in life leads to a higher
learning.
We learn the soul is indestructable and we can't die,
at least our soul doesn't. We quit looking backwards and having regrets
of things left undone. We realize we made the best decision based on
the information we had at the time. Everything happens for a reason ,
and sometimes it can take years for the final outcome based on a
decision we made earlier in life.
When we overcome fear, we let
go and let be, realizing there is a
divine plan for us that we chose at
the time of birth. We don't always see the big picture and need to leave
it up to divine intelligence to know the final outcome and the
direction to go, step by step.
As we conquer our fears, our
wisdom increases because the channel is opened wider and wider for the
connection of our soul to divine spirit.
