Conquering the Fear of Dreams Coming True: A Personal Journey

Facebook October 2021

Whewww, this is a hard one! How many days did you wish for things to get better & dreamed of the chains falling off. You wanted it, begged & pleaded for it. Wanted it with everything. Worked & worried yourself to death to get out. You may have dreamed of all the freedom after it finished, abundance a plenty, happiness, joy, & freedom!

But then, it happens. It actually HAPPENS! Yes, you might get excited but, old fears creep up. When does the rug get pulled under your feet? Where's the mountain you'll have to climb? It couldn't be real. The fear consumes you so, you go back to the known. Even when it's miserable, even when you know it's going to put you back where you were again. At least then you can KNOW what's around the corner. You've got this suitcase full of coping mechanisms crafted through out a life time to help you. Carefully crafted & curated by you, for you. It's heavy & burdensome but, it's been proven to get you by.

It's ok to say you are scared of uninhibited joy. You've got the tools for misery, you were never given them to hold & maintain joy & contentment. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you, you are well equipped for survival & not fully living.

Be patient, be kind, and find the ones that help you replace your survival tools with ways to hold joy, trust, & hope.
