"Every time you are afraid, your life is presenting you with an opportunity to make a leap of faith. Here's how to make it: http://ow.ly/gwils" - Martha Beck

Recently I've had to be fearless.....this means that I was experiencing a lot of fear.....and in order to be authentic in the situation that I found myself in.....I had to be brave.....follow my inner voice anyway....enter the new and untried....say what I knew to be true.....
and risk losing everything....
Well....I lost everything.....
and it was replaced by an even better everything....
at record speed....
I faced my fear...
I walked into my fear...
I walked through the fire...
it did not burn me up.....
it was more like the heat necessary to make iron into steel.....
and the Universe supported me absolutely....
I trusted my higher self....
I trusted me...
and my leap of faith changed everything....
Tell your stories of your leaps of faith.....of being brave when your knees were shaking....
Share the fears you have yet to leap over....
Let us support one another in our bravery in these rapidly changing times....
and our rapidly changing human selves....
with the unconditional love of our higher selves....
Love

Whaddayamean IF I have no fear?
I rid myself of my fear a long time ago and I sincerily expect everyone else on this site to have done that as well several years ago. :)
But, I'm not be doing anything different today than from what I did when I had fear..
All that's really changed is my own self confidence. Without fear, the self confidence takes the form of a "trial and error"-approach to new things instead. :)
I let it go fully and with love.
Awhile ago. I had a dream where I was trying to grab a turtle who was swimming under the doc. I could not reach the old turtle. I dove into the water and got a baby turtle. I brought it home and my roommate and I laughed as we enjoyed this baby sea turtle. It was very real surreal. I was trying in real life to reach for something that had slipped past me, but now the baby turtle is here!!
It truly is so important to clip the thoughts off and bring it back to yourself. Over and over again bring it back. :)
hehe .. seems its not just rhinos that have the horn ! .. lol ..
Lori .. I actually have been chased by a raging rhino .. my landlady .. lol ..
Ta hun.
A mistake that is often made is confusing anger the emotion, with angry, the out of control, suppressed fear behaviour driven by an explosion of anger.
Anger in its pure state is a beautiful, empowering, motivating energy.
And when allowed to do its job it facilitates an easy, smooth, overcoming of the inertia of fear.
Hi Lori,
Well last year I nearly got sacked...lol on the grounds of ethical behaviour as I was calling my superiors behaviour and using the legislation to back me up which was a bigg bigg bigg thing because people (other workers) were too afraid of saying what they thought and still dont to this day however I have seen a bit of a shift in people standing up for themselves...
And only in the last few days I had to be true and let a casual lover go due to no communication coming from him so I had to be honest with myself and assess did I want to go through a hard relationship again or just identify it, be honest withmyself and him and let it go... In the past I would put up with stuff but now I know what I want due to completely knowing what I dont..lol
I had my mates kept saying no dont tell him just "play thegame" and inside of me,I just kept feeling yukky on the fact of playing a game and not being genuine that I want to be especially with a guy I was still getting to know..
So I went with my inner urge to let him know how I felt and left it with him... I haven't heard anything however I am not reacting like I would in past and over analizing or making excuses for peoples behaviours, as us females can do, I am just accepting thats where he is at and I am where I am and now open to even more good stuff...
Cheers!
