Fear Isn't the Enemy, forgetting Your Power Is!

 

After you accidentally broke the scythe of a fearsome ghost.

Terrified, trembled, clutching the broken blade.

“I didn’t mean to… I just picked it up…”

The ghost loomed closer.

Fear wrapped around the you like a fog.

But the we didn’t realize,

the shard in our hand could destroy the ghost in a single strike.

Because fear wasn’t strong.

It just looked big…

until you remembered your power.

How many times have I feared the “ghosts” of mistakes I made at work or in life?

How often have I been paralyzed by the imagined reactions of others,

or by anxious thoughts that hadn’t even happened yet?

But when I look closer:

I see the tools I already hold: lessons, strength, experience.

Even my “mistakes” have become part of that blade.

Sometimes, the fear is just fog.

And the truth is, we’ve already lived through worse.
