Fear grips us in the throes of inaction. Feeling disoriented, abandoned, shattered, and lonely, we imagine being at no point of return!
Why do we feel so? Fear makes us see our place in our surroundings relative to others. We find ourselves poorly positioned when compared to others. Stumped, behind, needing to play catch up, and ill-equipped.
Until we bottom out of that fear! When we realize there is nothing more damning and damaging than what we are experiencing. In some ways, it is the uncertain starting point of a new race. When this reality hits us, that much is now up to us. That conscious realization gives us a view of the datum of worst-case scenarios. Once we know our ground zero, it gives us the strength to spring back on a path of return!
How does one get back on a path of return? Sincerely accepting our situation and admitting the reasons for it. Engaging in the very acts that were scary and we hated to indulge in.
The best part of mustering courage is it thrashes fear. Progression of courage is excruciatingly slow, frantic, desperate, and unnerving! Much like how astronauts must feel when a capsule carrying them reenters earth's orbit!
And when the escape is complete, doors suddenly open!
