Being Brave

There are things in life that we fear, but would have difficulty identifying. Some are hidden so deeply within us that we may be surprised that they exist. All we know is that there is something that is preventing us from moving forward. It won't be easy to identify the fears that affect us the most because they are the ones that we hold closest to our heart.There is purpose to our fears because they protect us from getting hurt. So if we were able to untangle the knots that fear creates within us, we would be able to breath so much easier. Remember if we work on one knot at a time, they will be undone in no time. Today, be gentle with yourself. Think about what prevents you from taking the next step on your path. What makes your stomach cringe, your heart start pounding, and your feet move towards the opposite direction? Capture your fears in a net that you create yourself and release them to the universe. This is the year to understand your fears, embrace your uniqueness, and own your destiny.

Overcoming our fears is almost as difficult as making sense
out of the graffiti we find on the walls...

(The graffiti in Seattle is considered urban street art.
Although I don't understand what they are trying to say,
I can appreciate the beauty and feel the power of their work.)
