Facing Fear: “What If Your Meant for More?"

Fear

“Fear kills the desire and ambition to experience life”

Fear is often a perception—an opinion implanted in us by someone or something. It takes root in our minds and bodies, telling us to be scared, to hesitate, and to avoid the things we truly want to do. Fear acts as a barrier, preventing us from fully experiencing life. It puts us on pause, leaving us stuck in a standstill. But what’s truly unfair is allowing fear to hold us back from our dreams, goals, and the possibilities that could light up our lives.

What’s truly frightening is living a life constantly dictated by fear—always wondering what to do next, always hesitating. Fear diminishes joy and keeps us from pursuing the experiences that make life rich and fulfilling.

True fear isn’t trying the things that scare you the most. It’s not giving yourself the chance to face those fears and see what’s on the other side. What’s terrifying is letting others dictate your life—deciding for you what’s “good” or “bad,” and living for their approval instead of for yourself.

Fear isn’t worth your time. It’s not worth looking back on life with a heart full of “should’ve, could’ve, would’ve.” You should act now. You could have acted yesterday. And you would do it—if only fear weren’t standing in your way.

Don’t let fear keep you from what might be. Even if something doesn’t work out, at least you’ll know you tried—and there’s so much beauty and strength in that.

I’ve spent too much of my life holding back. I was afraid of being hurt, of failing, of looking silly or being judged—by family, friends, even coworkers. I feared not knowing what I was doing, of making mistakes, of appearing foolish.

But living in fear was breaking me in ways I couldn’t always see. It was quietly damaging. And while I still have those days, I’ve learned to ask myself: What if this brings me joy? What if it brings me closer to who I really am?

And honestly… that possibility makes it worth the risk. I took a chance on myself because I knew deep down that I wasn’t made or this world wasn’t made to not be experienced and especially with mistakes and messiness, and definitely the wrong turns (feels like have taken millions and counting) but that’s how you grow, evolve and elevate. That is how you become.

But here’s what I’ve learned: trying something new, stepping into the unknown, is the FUN part. The adventure is in not knowing. It’s in seeing where the journey takes you. HOW EXCITING IS THAT?

What if you fall in love?

What if you’re incredible?

What if it turns out to be the best thing you’ve ever done?

So instead of thinking, What if it goes wrong? shift your perspective. Start asking yourself, What if it goes right?

Don’t let fear rob you of life’s potential joys and successes. Fear will always be there, but it doesn’t have to control you. Take the leap, try the thing, and live for the “what if” of positivity.

Your future self will thank you.

P.S. Even now, fearful thoughts flood my mind: What if what I’m writing makes no sense? What if I’m just a fool, and this is completely pointless? What if I don’t know what I’m talking about? What if this isn’t helpful at all?

But then I remind myself: What if it is? What if I can help at least one person? What if these words give someone the courage to feel fearless?

If you are that one person, and this has helped you in any way, know this: you deserve to live a life so fiercely and with so much passion that nothing can stop you from chasing your dreams. You were made to live a life that is to be experienced and felt through every ounce of your being inside and outside.

You're worthy of it and I know you can do this! You are doing and stepping into something you have never done before and that deserves an applause!!
