September 22nd I experience and express the power of trust because.....I am ready and willing to walk through fear. When it comes to moving forward, demonstrating your power, it is the same experience for everyone. When life calls upon you to step up your pace, to move into a higher level of being, to put your great potential to use, it will bring up every aspect of fear that is hidden in your consciousness. When this happens, unless you are willing to acknowledge and confront the fear head on, you will not be able to move. More important, if you do not trust that you will be able to walk through the fear, you will CHOOSE not to move. We all have little fears that we have not addressed. In fact, we may have some we dont know exist. These unknown fears can and do lie dormant until you are called upon by life to confront and overcome them. That is when the degree of trust you have in yourself will be tested. It doesnt matter how much potential you have or how many divine opportunities are laid before you, fear can zap your energy, stamina and ability to move. The fear of failure, rejection and success will rage in your brain the moment your potential is called upon. In moments like this, you must trust that you can feel bad and recover. That you can survive mistakes that might make you look stupid. How you respond to fear when it rises will determine how much you can trust yourself. The catch is, unless you trust yourself, you will not be able to confront the fear. Until today, you may not have recognized that there were unacknowledged fears lying dormant in your consciousness. As a result, you may have given yourself many wonderful, and plausible reasons for not living up to your potential and taking full advantage of the many opportunities you have. Just for today, consider the fear vs. self-trust theory. It doesnt really matter if you know what you are afraid of. What matters is trusting yourself enough to confront it, walk through it, and survive. Today I am devoted to trusting myself enough to walk through known and unknown fear! (I define fear as False Evidence Appearing Real and this excerpt is from a daily devotion book called Until Today by Iyanla Vanzant)
