Break Through Your Brick Wall
June 2nd ( Week 1 )
Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that something might cause pain or might be dangerous. It resides deep inside your conscience and if I had to make a visual representation, it’d be a solid brick wall. This wall has guards, security cameras, a dog, and barbed wire on the top stretched for the entire length. On the other side of this wall is a city called acceptance, its lively, entertaining, active and busy. In this city of acceptance you’ll find growth. You want into that city but the highly protected wall is stopping you from gaining entry.
You try walking up to the entrance and are turned away without reason, you try going over the wall by climbing but you realize theirs no grip and the wire at the top will tear you to shreds. Finally you try looking at the walls structure and ask yourself where are the weak points? How can I break through and get into the city? You're scared, and worried…What if I get caught? What if it's not what I thought? Regardless, you're driven, motivated and have complete determination so you get a huge drill and push through with all your might. You planned for this so no guards or cameras too worry about. Eventually you break through this and on the other side you feel amazing. like all the stress washed off you and you feel almost lighter in a sense.
What does all of this have to do with fear? Fear was the wall in this story and the city is the result of what happens when you push through that fear. The problems mentioned are the same thing we go through whenever fear enters our lives. Not all fear is bad but without realizing it and being aware you’ll do nothing.
I understand this wasn't the most scientific and most informative but I hope this small post made you think. Don't let FEAR stop you from achieving your goals. When it seems scary to jump that’s when you jump.
