The Moment of Relief From Fear

Fear is a tricky emotion.

It can save you from being killed by a snake or stop you from approaching a girl you find attract. It all depends on the situation.

This generally makes it difficult to figure out when fear is helping rather than hindering and vice versa.

I've put myself through fearful situations before. Some fears came close to crippling me. While others were a hiccup in my step. Yet I still haven't developed a method to devising which fear is bad and which is good.

I sit tonight in my friend's computer room aka my bed for the night. About 15 minutes ago, I faced a fear. It's been following me for what feels like a month. I can't explain how such a fear persists. Most fears are irrational. Maybe this one was.

But it was difficult to tell. It was difficult to make a move in order to face the fear.

Fear keeps you in your head. It keeps you picking apart different situations, solutions and consequences. It really doesn't do much. The overanalyzing. It just haults action.

Yet action is the solution to fear.

As I rode in my friend's "black pearl" over to his house. I hit a realization. Things work out better when one lets go. Lets go of the ego, the fear and the identity of who I am supposed to be and who I want to be.

My friend applaud this insight. Proclaiming it as the pure hard truth.

I felt relief a bit. I also felt that I knew what I had to do.

So I went on to face it. I let good of what I am supposed to be, what I want to be look as and just did it.

I wasn't sure if it did anything to solve the situation. But I don't want to worry about that tonight. I took action.

Fear can be deadly and helpful. Either way, action must follow unless fear consumes you.
