I have seen this lately every day, as a bumper sticker, as a magnet at Borders, on a tshirt on Tuesday. Somewhere, on something it has reared its message to me once a day for at least two weeks.
So, what am I supposed to do about it? I am not scared of much anymore. I fear talking in front of people and yet that is what I do for a living, so daily I confront that. Can't be that. I am not a social person and yet have to live again to make my living in a semi social situation, especially at my market in the park classes where its a big social event, so it can't be that.
I fear commitment I think, maybe not, but I always avoid it but when I realized that and committed myself to my kundalini practice it began changing me and expounding the results almost instantly, it takes that to make kundalini work. Do I fear other types of commitment? Maybe. I'm not sure. I commit to daily trying to live by my best example, but fall short a lot I'm sure, I am human.
Hmmm, what scares me that I can tackle that I don't already tackle daily? I feel I'm being led in this direction to embrace my fears and come out on the other side of them, so let me think about it and see what I can today to make it happen. Start the movement to the other side of a fear. I don't like to be afraid of things, but must say that I am because we all are, and are raised to be scared of everything and I've done a lot of work to let go of the ones I thought were the big ones. The irrelevant ones like my fear of sharks only matter if I'm visiting Maui, so I'm not talking about that.
What scares you? Not a big thing, start small. If you're scared to tell someone in line ahead of you they smell nice, then today make yourself do it. Something along those lines, easy and something that won't really matter in the end. If the person thinks you're crazy does it matter? You may never see him/her again, so who cares, tell 'em!
