I couldn't believe the relief I got from the simple( although it took me many years) act of surrendering. but there was more- deciding to rely on my HP to guide and direct me while I put in the footwork to learn how to live life on lifes terms.
one thing I learned on the journey is just how much fear controlled me throughout my life, and what captainamazing posted-Fear is the absence of faith- was detrimental for me to grow.
that didn't mean the absence of fear. I had to use( and still have to use) faith and courage in spite of fear. pretty crazy still how I can run into something where I need that faith and courage, but after I get through it( which really is easier than goin around it) I look back and think to myself:"that really wasn't that bad."


keep it up ontherightpath!
