Unlocking Your Potential: Fear and Self-Discovery.

I once pulled a card from a light witch that read “Believing is seeing.” At the time, I shrugged it off, not letting myself resonate. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, always in the back of my mind. One day it clicked while I was reading tarot. I realized that my deflection happened for a reason. I wasn’t ready to hear it. Are we ever really ready for the messages life sends us?

At times it feels like I’m in limbo, anticipating something—anything. And then my time of waiting turns into comfort.

The waiting period ends, and I’m so used to feeling and living a certain way. Then the wheel begins to turn again, against my will. It sweeps everything away and leaves nothing behind. Yet I still kick and scream because I can’t let it go. But the wheel truly never ends its spinning. It may give you rest, but you shouldn’t get too comfortable like I did. Because sooner or later, the wheel always turns again.

Your feet won’t touch the ground until it comes back again, as you were barely standing firm in the first place.

Well, my wheel has started its next rotation, and I’m starting to feel the anticipation. I’ve grabbed on with all my will, and I’m prepared to have the ride of a lifetime.

I’ve been thinking—I mean really thinking—about life. I’ve fallen off my path many times, often thinking, “This is it. This is my rock bottom.” But that mindset is why I’ve been beaten down so much. And suddenly, it hit me: the moment where everything clicks is the true rock bottom. When you realize that there really is no other option than to face the things that terrify you. Only then will you see improvement—mind, body, and soul.

You can do everything “right”: stay positive, say prayers, give, and have gratitude. But only—and I mean only—when you walk blindly with faith will you see improvement. The closer you are to fear, the closer to greatness you will find yourself.

Easier said than done, right? I’ll admit it—I’m a big scaredy-cat. But then it hits you, hard, like a bus: “I’m the only one holding myself back.” And the truth is, no one else can create the momentum for you. It has to start with you.

This is more than adopting a new mindset—this is an awakening. Society is going to evolve, and the last thing I want is to be left behind. Creativity is the answer, I’ve found. That, and faith in your highest self. It will open you to the person you thought was long gone.

It’s surreal, scary, and beautiful all at the same time. Many times I’ve faced her; just as many, I’ve turned away from her. A few times I’ve danced with her, and in those moments, I’ve been the happiest I could be. Yet she is still patient, because she knows we need one another.

I am no longer afraid of failing, or of taking the road less traveled. I have faith that it WILL be okay. As long as I am riding the wheel, I can take as much time as needed to get where I’m meant to be.

Keep creating. Have faith. Let go of being afraid, follow that feeling, and pay attention to where it’s taking you. You might be surprised.
