The wise man in the storm prays God, not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson, Journals, 1833

Fears
What are you afraid of, I mean truly afraid of? I'm not talking scary movies here or anything like that. What in your life are you afraid of that has been holding you back from living the life that you dream about? Are you afraid of failing, not getting the results you were looking for or maybe, just maybe, you are afraid of actually succeeding. You, along with everyone, have a dream for yourself. You have the inherent knowing that you were meant to do something great. Some of you may be on your path and taking some baby steps, not quite certain if you are confident yet. Others of you have derailed your dreams because of other people or because somewhere along the way it got too difficult to continue. But how is anything truly good going to happen if you allow yourself to be stuck in your fear all of the time? What good has that been doing you? Not much I bet. So let's go. Face your biggest fears and watch how quickly they disappear. Usually our fear of fear is really our biggest obstacle. Don't let anything hold you back from your vision, least of all the fear to truly be successful.
Please excuse the many versions of today's Pearl. I am rather ill and should have been sleeping instead of writing this morning!
