Fear is like an auto immune disease. Your own beliefs attack your faith and fear eats your confidence.Living life is scary, it’s like a video game but you have no “game over” and start over time after time after time. No, all you have is this one chance. One.
We live in fear. Fear of losing our jobs, losing our families, losing our friends, our health, our purpose in life.
And you wake up some days in panic. Life is going by and what do you do? What have you done so far? And how long will you be here? You’re scared. Scared to forget to live until it one day comes to an end.
An easy way to live life is to be miserable, to be sad, to be disappointed, hopeless without any goals or directions. It means you cannot disappoint yourself, don’t get your hopes up. But it means you will gain nothing but a deep dark emptiness in your soul. You stop believing you will succeed, you invite the feeling of having no place in this world, no purpose.
You get hurt, you get betrayed, stabbed in the back, cheated on, let down, lied to. But it does not make you less strong. It does not turn you into a being with a blank passive mind waiting for that “train of happiness” that will just make you all joyous and merry. Those trains never come, you need to pull your own wagon and sometimes it will be uphills and you have nobody to ask for help. It will be about you and your desire to be happy.
Being happy is a skill. It is a form of art. You don’t inherit it, you learn it.
The hardest thing in life is to keep reaching forward, climbing higher, demanding more of yourself than that of other people, lead by example forgive let go and practice what you preach.
