See Double You

Why are you so afraid?

What is there that is so terrible that makes you cower so?  Are you absolutely sure beyond a doubt that its not all in your head?  Never underestimate the intoxicating power of delusion.

You do realize that chances are its more afraid of you than you are of it.  That’s why it has you so easily convinced.

Is your attachment so great that the best you can do is to spend your life in fear and negativity, hoping that will help to hold on?  Is that why you complain more than compliment?  Why you reduce instead of reinforce?  Do you need that much attention that you believe acting that way will attract that which you seek?  Why must you hide inside the box instead of stepping outside and exploring the world around you?

Can you be completely honest with yourself and admit that living that way all the time makes you feel better?  Really?

Dylan Thomas said “rage, rage against the dying of the light”…

If you need me, I’ll be over here, embracing it face-to-face with both hands.  I’m not afraid and I’ve got too much to live for.  I can’t waste my entire life afraid of the unknown and seeking a reason to be miserable.  I’d prefer to focus on where I’m at right now in the moment and keep pressing forward in a positive light enjoying the adventure of it all.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not careless, nor have I forgotten to remain mindful of my responsibilities, which means yes, I am going to be a bit more conservative when it comes to decisions that impact the bigger picture.  I do however recognize petty worry when I see it and none of it is worth even a consideration.  My apologies ahead of time then if I tune out when I see that coming…

Don’t be afraid, I’m right here and everything’s going to be alright… reach out… here I am… grab it with both hands and pull it close..its yours…
