Oh man this is so true for me! I have to admit that it feels like I live in fear. There is just always something I fear that is holding me back. Most often it’s a thought in my own head and not an actual situation to be feared. I will say that I never really considered that much of these fears in my head actually arise when I’m inactive or not being of service. I’m a recovering addict and alcoholic so I live in the 12-step program and the biggest suggestion I get and give is to stay in action, stay in service to others, and to avoid “sitting in your sh*t.” A mind is a dangerous place and inactivity can lead to so many negative things!
So I’ve decided I love this quote. It’s a reminder than fear is nothing that can harm, it’s simply a reminder to get moving… get active… stay in service to others.
Fear is a kick in our pants to live outside of ourselves. Feeling fear? Get busy!
