“I’m afraid.”

“It’s okay, I’ll catch you.  I promise.”

“Okay you better.  Here I go,”  said the young daughter as she jumped what seemed like for an eternity into the pool where her dad was waiting with open arms to catch her.

“See, that wasn’t so bad now was it?”

“No, let’s do it again.”

Life is full of “jumps” into the unknown.  Sometimes, we know someone or something is there to “catch us” and other times, we have no idea what will happen.  When we learn to trust in the universe and that we are on the exact path that we are to be on, in this journey of life, we can leap into the world knowing that we will be “caught.”

When we refuse to overcome our fear of the unknown, is when we begin to doubt ourselves, as well as our path on this journey.  Living with fear is like living without taking a risk.  Without trying a new food, or visiting a different land.  It’s like living without meeting new people, or reading a book.  Living in fear can place bars around your life, as though you are living in a cell.

By releasing the fears in your life, you are providing the freedom that each of us desires.  When we are fearless, we are free.  When we are free, we can achieve anything that we can envision.  Life becomes a playground for ourselves and the people around us.  We become brave enough to not even consider “falling.”  For we know that even if we “fall” we are falling right where we need to be at his moment in our lives.

Birds are free to fly wherever they desire.  When we release our fears, it’s as though we have grown wings.  Wings that allow for us to attempt and to proceed with the confidence that was once hidden deep inside of us.  Let go of those fears, and let yourself live with the freedom you desire.

As you go about this day, and the weekend ahead, look for areas where you may have a fear that is keeping you “locked in a cage.”  Look for possibly subtle , smaller fears that may be holding you back.  Then, take a deep breath and jump into that pool of the unknown – knowing that someone will catch you if necessary.

The universe will guide you, if you let it.  It is up to you to open your eyes, your heart, and your mind to see where you are being guided.

Fears can be limiting in your life.  Let go of the fears that may be holding you back, and grow the wings that will open the world to you so that you may fly wherever you desire!
