GB 36: Fear Nothing
For the last several years, at the beginning of each year, I declare a theme for the year. A theme which keeps me focused and moving in the proper direction all year long. After prayer and meditation with God’s guidance, I am led to designate a particular phrase or word. For several years, my theme was “Surrender” and remained for a number of years. I suppose, until I finally learned the lesson of what it actually means to surrender all to God. If you follow the blog and podcast, I even encouraged my followers and podcast guests to share their theme for the year.
My theme for 2018- Fear Nothing.
Happily, I moved and flowed into the first several months of 2018. Surely, fearing nothing. Maybe, a few bumps and bruises here and there, but nothing so serious.
UNTIL, the start of May. My family was faced with a Bigger, Brighter, Blessed opportunity that I knew was orchestrated divinely just for us. I jumped at the opportunity in true GRATEFUL BADASS style.
A few days later, fear crept in. Fear set up shop. Made a martini and got cozy.
My happiness and joy, gone. Desperation and despair. Unabashedly present.
Click and listen in now as I describe the ordeal.
Know that, once we declare and decree something meaningful and positive over our lives, it will be tested. Tested indeed. Stand strong and think of the BADASS that lives inside of each of us. With my recent life lesson, inspired by an outside source, I realized three strategic points of overcoming fear to prepare for the next time fear decides to show up.
Overcoming fear:
- Press the reset button—— Ready, Set, Go!
- Move “in spite of” circumstances
- Practice courage (Strength training for next time)
It’s that simple, basically, remember who you are. A true Badass.
What’s your theme for 2018? Has it been tested recently?
