Last week I had the opportunity to speak with an old friend that I had lost touch with. A rather unfortunate memory of this person is that she was always afraid of something! While I enjoyed catching up with her, I was also sad to find that she was still that fearful person - she was working the same job that she absolutely hates for fear of going to find another one ("not in THIS economy"); she still had very little outside interests ("the world is full of crazy people") and she was still alone ("there are no good men left").
While Ellie knows what I do for a living, she is not a person prone to do things like spell work or candle work! I wish she was... I would definitely recommend that she try something like some white candle magick or a Milk of Damballah white bath to try to help her remove some of the fear and negativity that she finds herself steeped in!
So we will call my friend Ellie. Ellie lives the State of Fear. Everything is riddled with negativity and fear and I began to remember why I had "lost touch." While Ellie is an extreme case, how many of you out there are living in the State of Fear? Are you afraid to make new friends, talk to people, put yourself out there, take a chance on... well... anything?
You know that old saying "nothing ventured, nothing gained?" It is just as viable today as it ever was. Even in these tough economic times, even while we are bombarded with news of atrocities throughout the world, there is still goodness, love, and fun to be had out there. Notice I said OUT THERE. It isn't coming to your doorstep. You must go out there and live your life. If you are afraid of every little thing - the dark, people, new friends,conversations,etc., you are doing yourself a terrible disservice.
I am not saying it is easy to overcome these fears, but won't you please try? If you see any of yourself in those paragraphs above, try to master your fears of just one thing! Are you afraid of people? Are you sure that all of them are up to no good? Try just talking to one new person a month - maybe they will be a rat bastard, but maybe they will be a new lifelong friend! Are you afraid of new ventures? Go some place new! Force yourself if you have to. I am sure you will find that there wasn't anything scary about it at all. :-) You might even enjoy yourself!
It's a big wide world out there people - if you are just existing in your tiny corner of it, never venturing out of your safe zone, not only are you doing yourself a disservice, you are doing the world a disservice - the rest of us out here might enjoy the pleasure of your company! :-)
Love, light, and peace,
