Fearlessness

Fearlessness is not someplace
Where fear becomes incapacitated

Fearlessness is the willingness
to be fearful

Fearlessness does not mean
the absence of fear
Fearlessness is
the allowing of fear

What can terrify that
which is not afraid to be afraid?

And that famous quote that the only thing you have to fear is fear itself. Although I appreciate the intent behind the quote...really now...i welcome fear for I fear fear no more. I used to...oh gosh did I ever used to fear fear...but now... fear can finally be my friend. It's okay...I whisper loving thoughts in the ear of fear. I think fear likes me...we're friends after all. Blessings...Jim.
