Fearless

6 Mar

Life is unpredictable and we never know what will happen next. Things go right, and things go wrong. Sometimes we’re surprised by a turn of events, and when they turn in ways that are difficult or daunting, we may be concerned or fearful we cannot face them. A lot can go wrong when we least expect it and if the rug is quickly pulled out from under us, we may be stunned and for a moment be unable to move. Fear is a natural emotion we all experience from time to time. Even the most courageous and brave among us is not immune. Our innate fight or flight reflex will be triggered at some point, and we may be rattled. When we’re unsure and worried, when the future is uncertain, and we don’t know what to do next, fear often enters the equation. It can paralyze us and make it impossible to think. But we are intelligent and have all the wisdom we need to figure out any problem or complication. It doesn’t matter if everything goes wrong, it doesn’t matter if the road we were on has disappeared, or if what’s happened is beyond what we can process right now. There will always be options before us and every answer we need will be there. We can take the time necessary to consider everything, decide on our next steps and confidently choose what we will do. Nobody is fearless, but when fear comes, we need not let it overcome us. We are more powerful than we think we are, and nothing can hold us down indefinitely. The future is always unknown, but nothing will happen we can’t manage. Every goal will still be there for us, even if we have to reconfigure how we’ll reach it. Life may throw us for a loop, but we are flexible and smart, and can bend to adjust. The destinations we desire are still there, and with confidence and assurance, we will reach them.

We’re always in control of ourselves and our personal lives, but we have no control over anything else. Illness, calamity, accidents, unforeseen roadblocks, and endless other complications will come. Even if we sequestered ourselves and tried to hide from the world, there would still be risk of some sort that things will go wrong. Nothing is ever certain and change is constant. But we are strong and capable, and can trust ourselves to manage whatever we must, and find our way through.

There is no way to know what tomorrow will bring. Even if we try to prepare, everything may change and all our preparations may be for naught. Our plans may fail, others may let us down, and at times it may feel the whole world is conspiring against us. It will never be true that there is no way out. There will always be another door and another road ahead. We can be sure of our ability to find the answers we need, and move forward with determination and confidence. We already have everything we need to accomplish our goals, and find complete happiness.

Today if your world has been rattled and you’re afraid you won’t succeed, trust yourself. You are smarter and more capable than you think. There isn’t anything you can’t do. Be sure of yourself, and step forward with confidence. Everything is possible, and nothing can keep you from success.

Anything and Everything

2 Mar

As we go through our days making decisions and accomplishing tasks, there are lots of things we do well. We are often able to complete what we set out to do and the road is clear ahead. But sometimes, things don’t go well and we get tangled up in all kinds of complications and unforeseen problems that keep us from getting our plans done and stop us in our tracks. There may be times when anything that can go wrong has gone wrong, and everything goes up in smoke. It happens to everyone at some point. When we’re in the midst of a mess we didn’t expect, and nothing we do clears the way, we may have to put our plans aside for a while. Nothing can hold us in place forever, but we might have to stand still for now. It’s frustrating not to be able to move forward, however, standing still gives us time to look at all the options in front of us and think about how we want to proceed. There will always be more than one way to any destination. We can see everything possible and find the best road that will move us closer to the goal. Everything may go wrong, but nothing stays the same forever. Change is constant and we will find an opening to start again. With determination and patience, no matter what happens or how complicated or convoluted the situation becomes, we will find our way. Every goal is possible and we have everything we need to succeed. We can trust ourselves, and step forward with confidence. Nothing can keep us from any destination we desire. We are strong and powerful, and we will prevail.

Some goals are easy to reach, and some are more difficult. When we want to accomplish something that means a lot to us, but is complex and hard to attain, we may have to work on it for a long time. If we don’t feel we’re moving forward, we may begin to think the goal is impossible to reach. The road may be very long and arduous, we may tire and need to rest, and there may be endless problems and roadblocks ahead. We can always change direction if we decide the goal is no longer worth the cost, but if we still want to prevail, we have everything we need to reach it.

Most of what happens in our lives is out of our control. If things develop in ways that endanger our plans or there is risk that we will be impacted negatively, we may become overwhelmed with concern. If the possible loss to continue forward is too great, we can let the goal go, and work on something else. Things are always changing and in the future, we may be able to move ahead. We can do anything we want to do, and with careful planning can accomplish any goal we desire. The whole world is there for us. We can be confident and sure we will prevail.

Today if everything is falling apart and your plans aren’t working out, decide what you want to do. If the goal isn’t possible right now, set it aside and move on to something else. If you can continue moving forward, trust yourself. You are stronger and more powerful than you know. You can do anything. Step forward with clarity and confidence. Nothing can hold you in place, and you will succeed.
