[di meliora]

Melissa Kirk talks about the fear and power of letting. She tells us:

In my life, the most amazing things that have happened to me have been direct results of me facing the crippling terror of letting go of something. Whether a relationship, a job, or a story about myself and what I am and am not good at, the best things in my life have come when I've chosen to hold my breathe and dive under the terror, even if I've tried hundreds or times before and failed. Several times recently I've found myself sitting in the darkness of my own fear while simultaneously choosing to do the thing I was so afraid of. I've been sweating and chilled, I've been on the verge of hyperventilating, I've even been in the place of begging myself not to do this terrifying thing, the child part of me and the adult part of me literally involved in a dialogue about who was going to make the decision. And then, I've been on the other side, jubilant and glowing, or at times even still unsure but so proud of myself for walking through the fire to the other side that it almost didn't matter whether or not I succeeded at the challenge. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/...wer-letting-go

Fear has been one of my frequent visitors. I certainly can relate to the terror ... and the jubilation.
