This past week, I felt myself pulling away from something that brought me nothing but fear and hesitation. I saw the truth in what I wanted, and yet, instead of embracing the reality that was being given to me, I stepped away. It was as if my mind couldn’t reconcile what I was being shown with what I believed I needed. This internal conflict, this push and pull, brings me to today’s topic.
I fear the unknown, those questions that keep us up at night, and the answers that might shake our foundations. What if I’m not who I thought I was? What if my truth doesn’t align with the expectations of others? What if stepping into authenticity means leaving behind comfort, relationships, or even parts of myself I thought I needed?
It’s the struggle of recognizing what we truly want versus the fear that comes with stepping into that reality. Often, we hesitate, thinking we aren’t ready, or perhaps fearing that the truth might be too overwhelming to handle. But by avoiding it, we only prolong the inevitable. And sometimes, that moment of hesitation is the very thing that keeps us stuck in a place that no longer serves us.
Growth doesn’t come without discomfort. It’s in the moments of questioning and stepping into the unknown that we begin to shed the layers holding us back. Fear isn’t here to stop us; it’s here to push us toward the truth we’ve been searching for all along.
So, the lesson today is take that step. Feel the fear, but don’t let it hold you back. Let it guide you closer to your truth and the life waiting on the other side.
