Freedom from Fear
Posted by Cottontimer on 30 Aug 2006 | Tagged as: Thoughts
Fear is good when it warns of danger.
Fear is not good when it’s constant, damages relationships, and keeps a person from growing.
Fear demands obedience but does not motivate a person’s free will.
I have been scared of very little in my life. I’m not scared of failing, living in new places, going down a different road, and, least of all, people.
I hope Stephen lives a fearless life too. Free of other people’s pressures and expectations. Because in the end, he has only himself to depend on for guidance.

Yesterday, I took Sadie swimming. She taught herself to swim this summer – I am not exaggerating. This guy with a 2-year-old (approx.) son floating around on a tube was watching her and asked me if she was afraid of anything. I said, no, but sometimes I wish she would have at least a little fear, for my sake. He asked me how we taught her to be that way and I could only reply the truth, that she has always been that way from birth.
The older I get, the more fearful I get. You are right. It is extremely limiting. I wish I could take a lesson from my daughter or at least tap into her fearlessness.
river2sea72: Way to go, Sadie! I can’t say that Stephen is quite so fearless but I encourage him to be more so. We’re gettin’ there. As for you, you need a BIG HUG!!
amen, sister.
