Facing Fears

All of us face fears in our own way shape or form. From the dark to facing failure, whether big or small, significant or not, we all have fears. That’s part of life but part of life is also being able to face and overcome those fears. In order to do so, we must first know what those fears are. We must take a flashlight to them, explore them and look for ways to overcome them. That’s what I tried to do this week. I explored several different fears and learned that the source of most of my fears comes from a need to please others. I decided that that isn’t a bad thing, wanting to please others but the key in losing my fears is to change the way I focus on that. Instead I can focus on bringing happiness to people. Finding small ways to change people’s lives, serve them and bless them. But I can’t base my fears around disappointing them because it will be impossible to make everyone happy or change the entire world. However I can change someone’s world and I plan on doing that in as many ways possible and that for me is enough.
