The Key to Defeating Fear

It’s easy to slip into doubt and fear. Doubt and fear are normal, human emotions. Everyone, from plebeians to queen, has experienced it. A Queen, however, knows just how much weight Fear can toss and for how long, before she kicks that b*tch right back to where she belongs...in the minds of the mediocre.

Fear will sit on your throne and rule your life if you let her, as she warps and rots your dream from the inside out, like an insipid virus. 

Her spies creep in through the catacombs of doubt, where the buried voices of those long gone echo.

Her armies surround your gates, waiting, daring you to expand, to reach higher, to climb rather, to grow bigger, to go beyond where you are now. 

For at that moment you do, she is right there to push back. 

TIME IS HER WEAKNESS. 

For it is through time that she gains her strength. 

EVERY PASSING DAY YOU DELAY, IS LIKE OXYGEN TO FEAR’S FIRE. 

Every moment you allow another ghost of the past haunt the present dreams you chase, she grows stronger. 

And when she is on your throne, you will be fed her propaganda in the dungeons of your kingdom - supposed evidence as to how RIGHT and just she is for protecting you from your own greatness. The prison bars grow stronger every time you let your soul listen to her lies. 

She is a weak ruler though - overtly arrogant, as she tosses your key into your cell with you, laughing at the cruel joke that keeps most usurped rulers trapped in their own prison. She mocks your myth of hardship and struggle, with giving you the key to escape.

“I cannot be THAT easy,” think the common, “A trap.” 

For no ruler truly wicked would lock you in a cell and simultaneously give you the key to escape.

But a Queen knows. A Queen remembers what she’s always known.

She has the power to choose. 

She can choose to reinforce the bars of her own prison of Fear until it becomes a tomb. 

Or, choose to turn the key. 

ALL IT TAKES IS THE KEY OF COURAGE TO DEFY THE DICTATOR OF YOUR DREAMS. 

Turn the key and the bars that barre you from your power crumble to ash. 

You’ve had the power to revolt against Fear all along. She threw it in the cell with you, as you allowed her to rule.

No longer!

Free yourself with bravery.

A QUEEN KNOWS TO WELCOME FEAR THROUGH THE FRONT GATE, TO MEET HER EYE TO EYE, TO ALLOW HER HER RESISTANCE TO BE A SIGNAL OF EXPANSION AND EXCITEMENT.

Fear, then, no longer puts up as wicked a fight. She chuckles with respect, knowing she has met her match. 

For a queen who has claimed her power, pushes back Fear’s fledgling army with purpose. 

It is with courage that you match her.

It is with love that you beat her.

It is with joy that you outshine her.

Turn the key of bravery.

REMEMBER, YOUR REIGN IS NOW.

P.S. Share this to a fellow courageous Queen who is conquering her fear and choosing to use this crisis to expand.
