Ehh. Fear I guess.

So, I'm trying new things. Blogging is my latest venture. I've been a writer for quite a number of years. So, why have I not ventured into the cyber world? Ehhh. Fear I guess.  I launched a book campaign to publish a remarkable story that teaches humanity about itself. Unconditional love, it reads, no matter how you look at it, that's what life is about. How well do we love each other here on earth? What will become of this life we live, if at the end of our days, we are asked about it? In thinking on that, why is it that some people I love easily and others I don't? Ehhh. Fear I guess. I recently met up with a young person whom I have known all her life. We've been out of touch for many years. I just happened to be at the right place and the right time.....alas, there she was. We had a nice little visit. Short, but nice. She said she was glad to catch up and that it had bee a rough couple of years for her. I concurred, it's been a rough couple of years. Why have we had a rough couple of years? Why did we not move away from what was causing us grief sooner? Ehhh. Fear I guess.

Fear. A remarkable thing really. It is a power like none other. Fear is a catalyst in who we are, where we are, when we are and why we are. So, if it is so powerful, why do we not harness the power more confidently? Ehhh. Fear I guess. Fear of what? Failure? Success? Exposure? Truth? Boy, we humans are interesting creatures. Let's talk a minute about the things we can achieve by harnessing our fear, owning our fear, becoming aware of our fear. To begin, we need to work in reverse, first becoming aware of our fear. To do this, spend time in your present. Look, listen, smell, touch. Where you are now, this very moment. Become aware. Selah. Next, own your fear. Take it into you as a tangible object. Drink and eat as if it is nourishment to your body. Because owning your fear is, in fact, nourishment to you soul. For when we own our fear we learn to control our thought patterns around it. We can change our thinking based upon our awareness. Human sensibility  causes us to act based upon what we know. When we know better, we do better. It's natural. When you are aware of your fear, and take responsibility to own it, you are empowered to harness the energy it creates. Now that, that is where the true testament comes. Creativity is born of harnessed energy. Creation is born of creativity. Therefore, energy harnessed out of awareness and ownership of one's fear, will birth creation of new habits. New habits form a new beginning. A new beginning paves the road of a new life.

Now I am not only an Author, I am a Blogger. Fear harnessed and owned. A new beginning. How did I become a blogger? Ehhh. Fear I guess.
