Raeshell Rozet's Blog: My Writing Journal - Posts Tagged "fear"

"To live in integrity, place fear in one hand and your purpose in life in the other. Hold on to purpose and toss fear away. It was never yours to keep."

This quote is from my journal writing this morning. Most of the material for my books come from my morning journal.

I free write about life and curious thoughts that cross my mind. Then I create fictional stories with monsters and flawed characters who struggle just like the rest of us. Admittedly, their problems are on a grander scale and the stakes are higher, but their issues are very much like the ones we face in ordinary human life.

Fear. It is the one thing that can stop a hero from living out his destiny. And I think fear stops many of us from going after what we feel we’re meant to do. I know fear has thwarted me from publishing my books for at least a few decades.

Here’s my take on it. Fear likes to hog the spotlight. It will do anything it can to monopolize your attention. If there is something you are meant to do in life, and fear is blocking you from it, then maybe it’s time to shift your attention. Let go of fear and grab on to the life you want with both hands.

Do you write in a journal? What have you learned? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
