Life With No Fear

If you had mastered the art of eradicating fear from your life,
what would be different? What would change?
What would you start doing that you aren't doing now?
What are you currently doing that you would
no longer expend your time on?

If you you were free from the fear of failure,
what other people might think of you,
or whether or not you belong...

No fear about your abilities, your appearance,
or whether or not you are capable
of even making a difference...

No fear of being less than perfect,
making mistakes,
or whether or not you would be criticized...

No fear about what the future might bring,
what the past has already brought,
or whether or not the present is living up to your expectations...

No fear of being yourself, offering your gifts, or revealing your weaknesses...

Which fear really holds you back?

Which fear leads you to procrastinate, cease trying,
close your mouth and blend in
when something inside is yearning to stand up and be heard?

Is it...

The fear of failure?
The fear of the unknown?
The fear of being known?

The fear of disappointing yourself,
disappointing others,
disappointing God?

If you were living one hundred percent without fear, what would your life look like?

If you could pick a fear, just one fear, to live without,
just for today, which one would it be?

How would you live?
What would you do differently?

Will you?
