You know that saying “There’s light at the end of the storm” well the truth is, some people choose not to go through the storm due to Fear.

Everyone is afraid of something although they might not admit it and sometimes their fear is holding them back from something great. Fear is an obstacle everyone must overcome and face and the more you realize you have the power to overcome it, this will eventually lead you down a better path. 

From personal experience, I used to be afraid to go into the storm and fight my battles. Due to the fact I was so afraid, I didn’t overcome things and was stuck in what seemed like a ditch. I knew I wasn’t being myself and living to my fullest because I was so afraid of everything.

Fear became one of my enemies and not facing it made me feel weak…

Over time I realized that the only way I was going to ever be okay was to face my fears and just head into the storm. Yes, I was afraid and it was a rough path at first, but soon I found the light at the end of the tunnel…and when I found it I felt like I was strong enough to get through anything, and I knew this was just one thing I had to get through to be who I am today.

Everyone has to make a choice on whether they’re going to let fear control them…By facing what you’re most afraid of you are able to prove to yourself that you are strong. Having that feeling of just knowing you were able to get through this is an amazing rush that runs through your body. Fear is like an anchor on a ship that will hold you in place until you decide to push yourself through it.

One of the biggest reasons someone could be afraid is a one worded answer…Change. 

For some reason we are all afraid of what change can do to us. You could be afraid of how facing your fears might impact your future or how it could change you, but the truth is you still can’t let that hold you back. Change is a big scary thing, but it’s also a part of becoming who you are and living your life to the fullest.

Don’t be afraid of the consequences or failure because that’s all just the background of becoming who you want to be. All of the consequences and failures are just obstacles you must go through in order to reach anything you want in life. No one promised you that there would be no obstacles in life…so why be afraid of them when you know you can overcome them?

There’s always that light at the end of the storm and even if the storm is fear, you can overcome it!  Take it step by step and soon you will realize you are not that afraid and it was not as scary as you thought it would be. All you have to do is take a deep breath and give yourself that small push…in the end, it will truly be satisfying and rewarding.
