Suffocating.
Fighting for air.
Scratching at the surface. Begging to break free.
Many people live their lives in fear.
I ask is this a life? Are you living at all if you are crippled by fear?
FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN.
I watch so many people struggle with their so called 'life'. Waking up in a dream day in and day out. Asking themselves why me? Playing into victim mode.
Afraid to make any choices. Afraid to make a change. Thus, continuing on the same miserable path, having blind faith and hope that one day they'll wake up in the life they so desperately long for.
And why? Because of uncertainties. Because of judgement. Judgement from themselves and judgement of those around them. I often wonder if it is the healed outcome that we truly fear, do we fear the success that comes from making the change?
Is it that we all just believe that one day we are going to be able to cash in on our suffering? On our hardships? That the great divine put us on this earth to suffer?
Why is it that when are getting to know new people, we bust out bag of wounds and begin to compare stories? Putting value our emotional war wounds. Do we really define ourselves by emotional scars? Believing that one another cares about the others story.
I am tired of hearing people complain about their situations. I am tired of hearing myself complain about my own situation.
Put up with it and shut up, or CHANGE it.
The only way to overcome this plague of Fear is to face it.
