What is your biggest fear? Maybe breaking up with your lover or spouse, maybe losing your loved ones, maybe being fired from your job, maybe going bankrupt, maybe dying, maybe... I am sure we all have our own unique and compelling list.

Anyone who has faced fear at least once in their life knows that fear tears us apart. We have the illusion that this state will last a lifetime because fear has taken over this moment. This illusion imprisons us in our own prison, sometimes for years.
The more we try to perceive life as black and white, the longer we prolong our own imprisonment. What do I mean? Do you realize how the weather in the sky changes in 24 hours? The wind comes up, then the sun reappears or vice versa, but it changes moment by moment. And so are our lives!
The wave has never left the ocean, but we want to! We want to experience happiness and joy in life, and we want to escape or postpone fear. Postponing our fear does not cause our fears to remain on the dusty shelves of the past. On the contrary, it allows them to snowball in our lives.
Past experiences, possible scenarios of the mind affect our relationship with this moment. I have news for you: There is nothing wrong with being afraid!
No matter how many fire places we pass through, the fact that we have the courage to be afraid again in every wild experience is the most naive part of the perfect imperfection of the experience of being human... No matter how much we know, it takes courage to be afraid in the embrace of the state of not knowing in that wild moment, friends! And when we lose that, sorry, we start to mess up our whole life.
Today so-called spiritual experts will tell you not to be afraid, that you cannot become enlightened because you are afraid. But the most magical part of the experience of being human is to be afraid! It's not a question of being afraid or not being afraid! It's about what we do with our fear.
When you get fired from your job and you don't know what to do,
When you send a loved one off to surgery,
When a relationship ends,
While you're dealing with your own health problems,
When starting a new business,
When you take steps to quit your job,
When you want to walk on a new, unfamiliar path,
Fear with joy!
Let your whole body tremble with fear.
Don't let this fear follow you like a nightmare!
Fear with grace.
It is not fear that makes you fall apart.
It's running away, procrastinating!
All unfaced fears are eventually reflected in the present.
Don't run away.
Don't look for blame.
Don't tire your heart asking, "Where did this fear come from?"
Graciously thank the thoughts your mind generates to keep you alive, but don't feed them!
In 14 billion years of existence, you are neither the first nor the last person to feel this way!
But here's a relief: No feeling is permanent!
Just never give up the practice of approaching them with the inclusiveness of the sky!
That's when fear becomes the force that lifts you up when you fall and your transformative inner voice when you get confused!
This is precisely why we become stronger where we are afraid!
Because fear becomes our most magical wildlife stream!
Remember; Only those who know how to be afraid in this life and can approach their fear can receive the blessings of the sun!
