Fear can be crippling – mighty crippling and debilitating.
Or –
Fear can be motivating – exciting – and life changing.

In the face of fear, part of me so wants to take a step back, crawl inside my dark familiar box and hide forever.  It’s too bright outside and the opportunity exists for SO MUCH.  Yet, that opportunity and that “so much,” is unknown, and the unknown is truly what drives fear.

Yet fear can be driving in and of itself.  Driving, pushing, propelling…in a new direction; in a forward direction.

I choose empowerment.  I choose strength.  I choose the Light.
I may look back, longing for my dark box, but the bright Light and all that awaits is just that much better.
It truly is.

Life awaits.

Here I come.
