Just A Thought… Fear Not.
"The more thou dost advance, the more thy feet pitfalls will meet. The Path that leadeth on is lighted by one fire–the light of daring burning in the heart. The more one dares, the more he shall obtain. The more he fears, the more that light shall pale." ~ Helena Petrova Blavatsky
Recognize that life is about experience, and learning from it. If we were always afraid of making mistakes, we wouldn’t accomplish or experience very much as a humanity. Many of the most successful people in the world began their journeys with what many people might call major "failures." It’s what we do with our "pitfalls" that defines us as people. For if we truly utilize our mistakes, then in retrospect, they never were mistakes! As a Course in Miracles says, there is nothing to fear; and of course what it means is there is nothing of any real value to fear–nothing of real substance, for love is reality. There is another quote by an unknown author which says, "Many great ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at." Put your trust in God who is always with you, lay your fear-ridden ego aside, and as Henry David Thoreau once put it, go confidently in the direction of your dreams!
