Recent conversations have created a moment of reflection on the surroundings we face and the internal struggles we must combat. In response, this is an idea on conquering fear; in the words someone who believes life will be filled with ups and downs, both of which create your unique and special self.
fear
It haunts you like a dark spirit, jumping out at you when you least expect it. You may experience fear more often than others. Turning in and searching for a way out, a space deep and engulfing. A dark hole swallowing you whole. completely debilitating, it takes you as a prisoner.
You may be able to escape. You may be able to take your sword from its leather partner, both destined to accompany their triumphant leader in greatness, strike down your enemy with a power stronger than you had ever expected to exert. What will you discover about yourself? What will you find at the end of your life? A missed opportunity based on a previous negative experience or an unproven idea of the unknown, inhibiting your urge to fly. Or? Will it be the might to fight and experience possible failure, only to learn from it? Will it make you more present and prepared to use your soul's strength, to take a step and make your dreams a reality.
It's time to turn toward yourself and find a way to make what you want happen. make it happen, captain.
Don’t let life pass by you like a train speeding through the bountiful countryside, amongst spring flowers, under the young sun and light blue sky absent of clouds. Turn your fated tracks into your own build of of industry, diminish your fear and enter into the unknown of a new experience, shaping the future you’re creating. The idea that we must discipline ourselves rather than return to our old habits out of comfort (although they may not serve us in this new year of life) can be a difficult concept to grasp. Creating a structure will keep you focused and prepared to withstand what comes your way.
You are the determiner of your future.
Your fear of heights should never stop you from reaching, take the plunge. Pull on your boots, hike up the hill and climb the mountain, make your way to the peak and discover something new. What will you find at the top? Turn a fear into an experience you’ll never forget.
Have the conversation you know you need to have. Understanding comes from a place of connection and communication, never truly achievable. You can only truly attempt to understand another person's experience and step into their shoes. But, you can still listen and sympathize. Don’t try to focus on what you will say in response, instead wait and listen. Listen to their body, mind, heart and words; hear what they are telling you. What will come after this is a connection you will be able to grow and flourish or a relationship, which will you learn from and propel you past your boundaries.
Move into the unknown, take it on warts and all, until you can polish to perfection. Make a home for yourself in a city you will love and know that your home will never leave you. You are your own home, you make your life what you want it to be and you have the power to live in the city you know will help build you to the person you want to become.
Take the leap you know is within your path and challenge yourself to become the destined leader of your own future.
Conquer what scares you, disregard what negates you, learn how to become your own support and approach the unknown with arms wide open.

this was one of my favorite songs as a kid, please roast me as you’d like kind comrade.
