Fear-Doubt-Insecurity-Uncertainty

Fear-Doubt-Insecurity-Uncertainty Dark fear invades my body. Wild doubt fills my mind. Feeble insecurity empties my heart. Eyeless uncertainty veils my soul. Yet my life-river cheerfully Wants to flow Into the stream of the Will-Supreme. Our lives are full of challenges. We sometimes succeed in fulfilling the test that was presented to us. But there were times that we avoid these because we are uncertain of the outcome. We feel that we are not ``good enough'' - the belief that we are inadequate or incompetent to handle the life's challenges. There is this "sense of always climbing up a mountain, never being able to reach the top". We believe that some people are better than us. We fear the sense of being unaccepted, disapproved, or rejected. We always think of what responses are appropriate for events and situations. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail. Sometimes we are the first, sometimes we are the last. But what is the very essence of these challenges? It is not about winning or losing. Or being the first or last. It is all about the experience and the knowledge that will help us understand what life really is. These challenges can be blessings because it will give us a glimpse of the purpose, our purpose. Because of our HOPES and DREAMS, INSPIRATIONS and "LOVE" (the very word that we can't fully describe), we are able to breathe amidst the problems and challenges we encounter. Even though FEARS may try to hold us back or block our way, COURAGE and Faith in our hearts will always be there.
