Stop for a moment and reflect through the years of all the challenges you have faced, overcome, achieved; or perhaps...got the best of you. Acknowledge just how different each circumstance could have been different just based on courage or lack of, and positive or negative actions you chose.

Our own self-esteem, fears, and even our ego is truly the largest giant we will ever face in life. Many times we beat ourselves by our own fears, etc. before any other giant ever have a chance. None of the giants we face can ever beat us, if we let them. We often times make situations harder for us to over come simply because of these things. Think of an extreme case where someone has commit suicide, and sadly, how truly it was the giants within them that beat them. No matter what giants come your way, life will go on. And no matter what, you can simply choose to beat those giants, including the ones within you. Yes, there is a lot of turmoil, misfortunes, sorrow, and hate in the world. But none of these will ever out weigh all of God's goodness, joy, and love in our lives...

With lack of self-esteem and fears, we reluctantly move forward because we are afraid of the outcome. Simply put, we are afraid of the unknown. And afraid of ourselves and what we can accomplish or achieve. And in this case if we needed to hire a body guard, we wouldn't choose ourselves because we have no confidence or trust in ourselves. When in fact, it should be the opposite; if there was anyone to choose from, one should trust his own judgment, power, and strength more than anyone else.

So what is the outcome that you are afraid of? And do you really think that if you approach this fear head on that you will lose in the long run? Sure it may be difficult, and it may even take several tries. But it is not the victories that determine our true ability and strength in life. Instead it is really the concept of approaching the fears itself that is what makes you strong and victorious.

Embrace those fears. What ever it is you fear, it is of great meaning and importance to you. Instead of allowing those fears to rule over you, stagnate you, or sabotage your opportunities, choose to be courageous and take the actions necessary to move yourself past them. The more you practice fighting against the fears, the easier it gets each time.

Truly, fear can be a good thing depending on how you choose to use it. It is with fear that you acknowledge something important that you need to face in life in order to move yourself forward in a positive direction. Courage is driven by fear. Courage is the strength and will to move forward and past those fears, despite those fears. Without fear, you would have nothing to be courageous about.

Through every experience in life, we are affected emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. These specific four things hold the key to our living peaceful, happy, healthy, and productive lives. And it is through good maintenance of these four keys that bring us the balance which we seek for in life. And when lack of balance is an issue, we find ourselves frustrated, and even missing out on too much of life's wonders.

We find that many things that we are most passionate about in life affect us emotionally. Our thoughts, feelings, values, and beliefs. Our emotional stability is very important to maintain. And through many experiences in our lives, we find that emotional stability defines how we handle certain issues. There is a lot of turmoil in the world today, and our emotional stability will help us cope with the stresses that come with these experiences.

Mentally, we find is the foundation from which we function on a daily basis. Even a simple debate in our head over what to cook for dinner can become frustrating. There are many larger decisions in life which can seem quite overwhelming, and possibly unable to solve on our own. If we find ourselves in a fog all the time, or too much of the time, then that balance is also off and affects other things going on in our lives at the same time. The more mentally sound we are, the more productive our lives are in many different ways.

Physically, it is quite common to all, that we must maintain our health to live a longer and healthier life. Regardless of what your health issues are, this maintenance should be important to you personally. Due to physical health affecting other activities in life, by recovering from it and learning a new balance, it will help you in other situations as well.

Spiritually we are affected in life by many different experiences, and many times we don't even give recognition to it. For many people , spiritual balance is the last thing anyone worries about. When in fact it is probably the first thing they should worry about. In fact I personally believe in today’s world, this should be taught in school. Because spiritual balance is about "you" as a person, your inner self, your strength from within. And through maintaining our spiritual balance, we have the peace and happiness which we seek for in life. And regardless of the experiences that come our way, we find an inner strength to get through it.

Mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually you are a special person, a beautiful person, a strong person. And through balance of these four keys, you will find the path to freedom #balance #Joy #Happiness #Anxiety #Love #MentalHealth #physical #Loneliness

There's alot of #Misery that comes with #ChronicIllness esp when it's marked by widespread, or even whole-body #ChronicPain , most, or all the time. Got to dig deep & & try hard to seek joy in the little things, esp cuz we've been robbed of most of the big things by our condition/illness. Like starting the day, or getting some renewed energy in its midst, with a comforting cup of hot coffee or tea ("May your cup runneth over"- but never spill a drop ! Wishing all of us plenty more joy, love, & laughter! And may we never run out of coffee.😉☕ 🌞 🌈 🎊🎈🎉🙋💌
