Afraid to Be Free?

This phrase came to me over 6 years ago…been stored up for today I guess.

Some people, many people, maybe you, and it has been me, are afraid to be free!

WHY?

  • Afraid of change
  • Afraid of new responsibilities
  • Afraid you can’t….whatever it is…
  • Afraid of what others will think if you decide to change
  • Afraid of new feelings and emotions
  • Afraid of not worrying…(after all somebody has to be concerned-worried- about stuff!)
  • Afraid you won’t get what you really want if you get free, so why bother
  • Afraid to learn a new language, skill, job, vocation.

Just plain ole afraid!!!

BUT…if you give up afraidness what might your life look like?

Think back to one time you did something different and how it felt to be free in that one area.

It will feel like that in every area you decide to free yourself. That’s right, I said ‘free yourself’, because we are the only ones holding us back. No one else really can. They may try, but we give them permission if they do.

How could your life be different, beginning right now, if you did not give in to your fears?

Start with the one thing that bothers you the most.
