As I sit here looking out of my window, watching the world go by I can't help but wonder. Why are people in denial of the truth? I see people with pained expressions on their faces, wasting energy pretending to be something or someone they are not. Scared to show the world who they are, for fear of rejection or condemnation. They defend the castle of their deception till the day that they die, scared to be who god destined them to be. People seem to be proud that they look like they have fought a thousand battles and lost.
Just look into their eyes, you can see the pain screaming at you! I'm sorry but am I supposed to be impressed that you have spent your entire life torturing yourself? Human beings are creatures of vast energy, and we utilize that energy by repressing who we are.
Our natural birth right is to be a fully functioning loving being, repressing our love for ourselves and each other is the fastest way to deplete your energy. When people have a 'lack' of energy their first thought is 'Maybe I haven't had enough sleep' or maybe 'My diet is all wrong, maybe I should become a vegan' how many of us realise that the truth could be much closer to home? How many of us conform to what others expect just to keep the peace, or tow the line? Who's benefit is this for? Maybe you just want a peaceful life.
Do you like to dance? Most people do, it's just one of the many thing's that people repress. Their favourite song comes on the radio and they really want to get up and dance, but what stops them? Fear!, they can't dance, now what? Instead of getting up and expressing them self as only they can, they will sit there and be miserable. Fear is a very powerful tool when used correctly, but most people will let fear turn them into a pathetic mess on the floor.
Am I saying that your weak if your scared of something? No not at all, what I am saying is that it is how you respond to what scares you. Will you adopt the mentality of a warrior or a coward? There will be times when you confront your fear, and your fear will totally trash you! This is where the warrior mentality comes into it's own, are you going to lie on the floor feeling sorry for yourself or will you get up and try again?
Next time you meet fear, take a long hard look into his eyes. You maybe surprised at what you see!
