4 THINGS YOU LEARN BY FACING YOUR FEARS

By Giselle Veratang | We all have fears – they are the indication we need to grow. Shine the light on the darkness of your life and watch yourself become truly filled with light, life and love.

1. You take responsibility for your Feelings

We live our lives thinking that our discomfort or unhappiness is caused only by others. Whether someone hurt you or had a big impact in your life, blaming this person for the emotions you create yourself is unfair.

You are the writer of your own story; you get to choose how it’s going to end.

Accounting for feelings like anger, sadness or jealousy can be a difficult thing to do but that is how you grow. Own your feelings, or they will own you.

2. YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Just like you are hurting, so is the person who hurt you; it’s just that you will don’t know how they really feel. They are human just like you and they feel just like you. They might not be feeling the same thing at the same time but guaranteed they, too, feel lost and insecure in their own way, at their own time.

Try to understand that we all go through the same thing in our own way. We are all reflections of each other and that’s beautiful; it brings us together. We can reflect our shadow aspects off each other to shine the light on them and grow from our mistakes. 

3. YOU ARE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT

You might dislike the way a certain person or situation makes you feel, and you can try to distance yourself from it, but you can’t distance yourself from your own feelings; they are inside of you. It is important that you look at the present moment and create a healthy output for unwanted emotions.

If you’re in a situation you don’t want to be in, leave it. If you’re interacting with someone you don’t want to, don’t. Sometimes we are obligated to do things we don’t want and those are the best moments for learning and growth.

Ask yourself why you don’t want to be doing whatever it is. Ignoring your problems will not make them go away, and when emotions build up they eventually lead us to do things we aren’t proud of.

4. YOU LEARN TO TRUST FEAR

Have you ever heard the quote “Fear is the pointer to your next adventure”?

Fear only exists within the mind; it does not exist in the world outside of us. It is an imaginary barrier we create for ourselves, a barrier that usually appears right before something great is ready to take place in our lives.

It is there from our ego, to keep us safe and comfortable. But just outside our comfort zone is where unreal magic exists.

When we make the choice to confront our fears there is a reward waiting on the other side. TRUST this feeling even when it may seem counter-intuitive because where there is fear there is also a hidden treasure.

Let fear show you the way.
