The Fear of Love is the Love of Fear

When we say we fear something
What is it that we mean?
Do you use it as an excuse to not try or push yourself beyond it?
Do we let it gain greater strength than us and then blame it for being stronger?

How is it when fear wins?
When fear wins
It is telling us it beat us at our own mission
You see, we all come here to do something
Other than live, we come to grow our souls
And in that we are not on one path at a time, nor are any of us on a path that is a straight line

There are turns and corners and questions and doubts
There are confidence issues, self esteem questions, love of self, not known how to do
And to balance things, there is love, and joy and hope
Caring and trying and things looking like they did not work out as they are working out

Fear is what tells us things won't work out
Can't work out for us, but they can for other people
Fear is the culprit again

The worst fear of fear is letting fear win, that we let fear win
That is simply not Fair

We give so much power to what can happen to take away
That we don't get to what would happen if we didn't have such a fear
That we don't have to keep it around for habits sake
That we don't have to give it space so that we are left frustrated

Love is the opposite of fear
When you love life, you fear nothing
When you feel in love, you say anything
You dress freer
You are free to speak as you are when you are heightened

And then fear of losing comes in and there you are
you dry up
you fear speaking
you worry about the person you love not loving you any more
Fear, doubt and worry stagnate the soul
Love frees it

We know both sides of this coin so well
Is it a 50/50 chance for you?
Is your love strengthened within enough to stop fear when it tries to test you?

It is only a test, a push, a shove of your soul to Hone itself, to fear
When you recognize this, fear has one less leg to stand on
Which can only mean you stand stronger now
One thought at a time
One step away from taking away from yourself

In the end, as we learn that we are a person too
That we count to us
Enough for us to not let our days go by with doubt of who we are
And taking the chances that gives our soul exhilaration's and hope
Fear starts to look smaller and smaller

We always say "have no fear", and we all love the saying
Fear is not a fight it is a foe
We take on foes everyday
And Fear is not bigger than any other foe
Fear is actually weakest when we are our best

Next time you hear your mind speak to you and says "you can't do this, you don't deserve that, this is not for you, that is too great a thing to happen to you"
Talk back from your heart and say, "WHY NOT ME!"
Fight it head on
Tell it, it is not your friend
Speak loudly to it's mayham
And softly with your love

Love is the greatest strength of all
And pure in it's energy of your movements and thoughts
Turn it around and it will turn around
Stop it and it will stop talking
Tell it to be quiet and the cowardliness in it will obey

Fear has only the strength that we give it
And as we all know fear has never amounted to anything
And it is just by habit in many cases that it is even within you

We have so much love, untapped
Tap in and smile at the chance
Tap in and live in the difference
Tap in and let love show you what it can do without fear
Love really can do this, and it is one of the first things in understanding your own self love
Love gives and does not need to receive
It just finds a way to keep on growing and growing and growing
Live in the truth that fear is the illusion that it is
Love is the true leader
Let it lead
