Moving Closer To The TRUTH

“Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.”

Pema Chodron

People often shut down when they feel afraid. They do what they always did, get what they always get; and even if they’re dissatisfied or disappointed, feel somewhat comforted by the familiarity.

Progress is on the other side of fear.
Growth.
Change.
Possibility.
All on the other side of that moment when you can either withdraw or move through your feelings.

Today if you feel scared–whether you have a decision to make or an opportunity to seize–ask yourself what you’d prefer: to stagnate and always wonder what could have been; or to act in spite of your anxiety, bringing what could be to life.
