Live Life Unafraid

The Unknown. Why are we so afraid of it?

Perhaps it’s our survival instinct. We can’t protect ourselves if we don’t know what’s coming.

Or maybe we are afraid of the unknown because we feel a lack of control. Even though some would argue, control is just an illusion anyway.

Whatever the reason may be, even if we have lived the most predictable life, worked the most predictable job, and had nothing but the most predictable experiences – there’s still room to fear the unknown. But why? 

The truth is– we’ve partly conditioned ourselves to fear the unknown. But usually even our worst fears have only a 5% chance (or less) of ever happening.

The future- though it may seem like it’s unknown, we have to remember that fearing it doesn’t bring us any closer to our goals. Fearing what we don’t know only steals our energy and focus.

Today, I encourage you to tackle the day. Not because you know what’s around the corner, but because you know that being afraid only steals from you. And since time doesn’t wait for anyone, it’s time to live life unafraid.
