Don’t be afraid
Posted by equilibrium2008 under Inspirational, Life, Personal | Tags: Life, advice, brave, fear, strong, conquer |Here we are, afraid of losing what we have all the time, holding on to it so tight that not a soul can touch it. We think by hiding it from the world, it’s hidden and it’s ours. Nothing is. Nothing ever will be. For, nothing ever was.
If you think there is anything that you have, that’s yours, be it money, a house, a job, or a girlfriend… it’s nothing but an illusion. It’ll all disappear… in one blow. One blow, my man.
Here we are, so insecure that we are afraid of re-starting our lives, so we just carry on trying to sort out the current mess. The thought that we should give it all up and just start all over - with nothing - might cross our minds some time, sure, but we get scared and we push away anything that scares us. 
There is nothing you can ever achieve or gain that you cannot lose, in a matter of seconds. You have never gained enough to not be able to lose it all, in just a few minutes. What you think is yours, was never yours and will never be yours. Whatever you make here, you leave here. You came naked and you’re going to go back naked.
So what are you afraid of?
Let all be lost. Let them take away everything. As long as you have your heart beating strong, as long as you have your nostrils working fine, as long as the blood flows in your veins, you will live, you will breathe and you can get it all back… again and again. For, if you can do it once, you can damn well do it again. It’s just a game we play - Life.

Love the “I Am Brave” badge —- sums it all up nicely. I’ve been asking myself several questions lately:
1. What would I do if I weren’t afraid?
2. What is stopping me?
So, hmm, you’ve just given me more food for thought…

WOW - is this timely!
Have you read the book “Descending into Greatness” by Bill Hybels? My Pastor wanted me to read it and I did - it is about serving, humility, etc that I can use in life and when serving at my Church. You losing yourself to find yourself.
What lasting legacy will we leave when were gone?

Kenny - I am glad I am able to give you some inspiration..
I am also afraid most of the time, but whenever I feel scared, I would usually pray hard and think, why I am afraid of. Losing what I have here which I know I will lose eventually when I am gone. I know I cannot bring it to another life if ever.
So that made me stronger…
Tim - hmm I haven’t read that book yet. I wonder if it is any good. I would love to read books that would in fact make me inspired and motivated.
I guess the lasting legacy we will leave when we’re gone is what we have shown to other people. Be it good or bad, it will still make other people remember who and what we are when are still here on Earth.

This has GOT to sum up what’s going on with me right this moment. I’m so afraid I’d screw things up that I just end up doing what I’m doing right now, not caring that I don’t like it, and might screw this up anyhow.
What am I scared of? Not having a life.
But I don’t think I’m having a grand life as it is anyway.

Su - just enjoy life. We are all entitled for mistakes. That is when we learn and it will teach us to strive to be a better person.
So just enjoy life girl… Remember nobody is perfect.

Thanks.
I’m learning to enjoy life, and do the things I wanna do.
Takes time to learn stuff, and un-learn some other stuff.

Yes because you may not want to regret that you didn’t even try aight?
