Promise to myself to not live in fear

[Thought Art]

I find I tend to feel a lot of fear throughout my life. 

I think we all do. 

I am making a promise to myself to not live in fear and to continue to develop my life purpose and to be a person of integrity.

I recognize I am rather hard on myself and that I expect a lot from myself. 

I realize that my mind is capable of deep self deception and that many of my fears have no proof or evidence of being real.

As afraid as I feel I will continue to overcome fear with love and become the best version of myself I can.

I surrender to the not knowing.

 

Sharing my thoughts, maybe you could use them as well.

As a testament to the truth of what you shared… don’t know that either, as it isn’t true, it’s projection. ?

@Nahm I don't know what everyone experiences. Never will. If I make a grand sweeping statement I expect it to break down.

I don't feel fear all the time. But, I have fears which come and I am using my awareness of them to grow and transcend them.

I think most of my fears are self deception. Probably all of them.

Except the ones which are caution and reasonable and are directly with what I am working on.

These are the words of a wiseman who has endured much, and thus knows much from direct experience.

These are the words of the separate self, which knows not the experience it speaks of, only of possessing things.

The belief in self deception, is the belief in self deception. It is a straw man. Do you see it?

These are the words of fear’s lawyer.
