Deuces to Fear!

We are all victims of fear.
It matters not the external armor we see a person dons, how intimidating one may appear, how confident and assured they seem; what is invisible to the eye is their heart, and in that heart lies fear.

Hey, even Jesus feared. He was a living, breathing human, with
the same emotions we possess, including fear. 

Proof:
The night before Jesus was crucified, he prayed in cold sweat and cried for hours, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me.” And little before that, he’d told his disciples, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death.” (See Matthew 26)

What, you thought he was ecstatic about dying? Chanting, ‘Hey, I’m Jesus, I won’t feel a thing! Bring it on, suckers!’?

Pssh…
 
Fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of change, fear of death… it’s all natural. But that doesn’t mean we have to be captives in its brutal claws. 
Fear’s prime purpose is to hold us back, to deter us from taking that step forward, from freeing ourselves of its bondage and enjoying life the way we were intended to. 

Well then, our prime goal should be to cripple it; to fight back and take a bigger leap each time it tries to remind us of all that could go awry. Fear can be conquered by changing our way of thinking, daring to take risks, then bracing ourselves for the worst case scenarios.

After all, it’s better to try and fail, knowing that you’ve taken a chance, than to sit back and allow Fear to defer you, while you continue to wonder, for the rest of your life, about what might have been. 

Whenever Fear tries to consume me, below is a song called, "Hello Fear" , thatI listen to put me in the mood of  standing up to the sucker, and saying, "Deuces!"

Happy Easter!!
