Can we remove fear’s power over us?

Fears easily win

When I lose faith that there is 

A pathway forward

It seems that the quickest path to despair is giving up on finding a way forwards. That there are solutions to problems. Perhaps even that there’s any sort of solution. Sometimes, it’s easy to get so enmeshed into the details any problem that even obvious solutions become elusive. 

It’s critical that we challenge that mindset. That we refuse to believe in that self-talk. We’d just believe in growth, in learning, in the path forward through the darkness. 

I find reminding myself that other folks have gotten through similar challenges helps greatly. Knowing I’m not alone gives me peace, which feeds my strength. 

Your mind is your strength

My mind is my strength
It is all I can control
The root of my soul

Don’t Let Fears Win

Within modern life
Fears can twist out of control
Yet our souls greater

Fears and insecurities cause much mischief if left unchecked.

And there’s always a,way forward.

Relearning to Dream Boldly

How do I relearn 

To dream boldly

To reach for the stars?

First look skyward 

In the night’s sky 

Gaze upon Orion’s belt

 

One can’t reach

What one cannot see.

Vision creates

Boldness
