You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

- -- Eleanor Roosevelt

How many of us do this daily? I would imagine many of us do. In my healing, I have found that these words are so very true....and once that fear is faced, it no longer holds you captive.....you are freed from that fear and what a wonderful and powerful feeling it is when you have faced and conquered!

I needed that! Thank you for posting

Depends what the fear is though!

Seems I have failed time and time again on that score, mind you I'd like to see someone who has actually walked in my shoes and then say they have completely healed!

(((((((((((((((( Pegasus )))))))))))))))))))) Sweet friend

I undestand what you are saying. No one can walk in someone else's shoes and understand what they have been through. All I can say is that in my healing...(and that doesn't mean I'm completely healed by a long shot...just in the process of the healing) I have found relief from facing my fears and have learned that in doing so, they do not hold me captive anymore. I guess you could say that in doing so, I am able to take steps forward instead of being stuck behind the fear.

So maybe to many of us, by facing our fears, we take away the stigma of feeling trapped by them and that in essence can be considered a part of the healing process.

I think we all have to take away from that statement what it means most to us individually. Yes, it may be said in a global fashion, but I think that it can be applied on a small or a large scale, whichever fits our personal situations. Sometimes we are only able to work on the smaller fears to find some relief....sometimes through our learning and healing we can work up to the larger scale fears. And yes, sometimes there may be fears that we will never get past.....although I do hope and pray that in everyone's lives at some point those most difficult fears can be dealt with in some fashion to the point that we're more comfortable and less scared of them.

Your point is well taken my friend.....much love and respect to you!

Sorry sabby, I think the post touched a nerve! Maybe a lobotomy is in order!

Hugs! ((((((((((((((( sabby )))))))))))))))))

Awww (((((((((( Peg ))))))))))) no need for apologies

I can certainly understand how reading what I posted might strike a nerve with a person No worries at all.

I wonder if the hospital would have a two for one sale on the lobotomy, I might just join you
