Goodbye, Fear. Hello, Love

“So don’t beat yourself up when you feel this feeling. Acknowledge it, embrace it, and change it.” – MO

Hello, My loves!

You know, I spend so much time speaking about love in my daily life, especially love for one’s self and I do this because of the importance and my understanding of the power of love. During my recent self-reflection, I came to the realization that I may have not been loving myself wholeheartedly. Recently a friend of mine called me and stated that she was upset with me. At that moment there was nothing I thought I had done to her but I did not hesitate to ask her why and I was surprised by her response. She said she was upset with me because I stopped writing on my blog and she asked me why. To be completely honest there was no better answer to express my feelings to her but that I was afraid. I did not think that my blog, myself, was good enough. I did not believe that I was a good enough writer to grab the attention of others. She begged to differ.

FEAR: an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat.

The main reason most of us shy away from the things that we truly desire is because of fear. Whether Fear of failure or Fear of success, Fear will hurt you in ways you did not know you could hurt. It is easier to feel comfortable in our comfort zone. We assume anything outside this zone is unfamiliar which it is usually is, and we also assume that this unfamiliarity is a threat to us, which it usually might.

But You Know What Usually Lies Outside of Our Comfort Zone?
New Beginning
Challenges
Growth
Happiness
Opportunity
Success
Love
Anything Your Heart Truly Desires!

Anything could exist outside of our comfort zone. Believe it or not, letting go of fear is creating room for love. Wanting the very best that life has to offer is attainable but it is difficult to receive when we avoid taking that LEAP OF FAITH.

Fear is natural.
Fear is normal.
Fear is an emotion.
Fear is part of being human.

So don’t beat yourself up when you feel this feeling. Acknowledge it, embrace it, and change it. We must learn to take the initiative to tackle this emotion because what lies ahead of fear is what may change the very being of our existence. After my self-reflection, I came to the realization that letting go of fear and finding the courage to go after the things that I truly desire is an act of self-love. I will choose to love myself over and over again even if that means saying goodbye to fear and saying hello to love. Why? Because I am deserving.

I am afraid but I am choosing courage, I am choosing love and I hope you are too.

With Love,

MO
