Change Fear

Do not fear change - change fear

I'm currently on holiday and I have for the first time in weeks it feels, time to look around and everywhere I look thinks seem to be springing to life. This pattern of renewal can be a real comfort in life when you face challenges and situations that are beyond your control. The times when you watch helplessly as a loved one is sick and you feel powerless to help them, or try to help someone who is going though emotional turmoil and there isn't anything that can be said that can really mend the heart. These are the times it is important to remember the strength of human endeavour.

The timeless beauty of nature can really nurture the soul in times of crisis and calm the senses so that a new perspective can be reached. I love the idea of 'changing' fear, it is a cruel master and those who are under its spell often find it hard to think clearly enough to escape its clutches. It is good to remember that it can be done and that just like the delicate spring flowers that line the hedgerows have pushed their way through the hardened earth to face the sun in all their majestic glory - so too can we overcome the trials and tribulations of our daily struggles and be victorious over fear.

Another quote which I love and may have used previously, so forgive the repetition is the following 'You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.' I hope you never find yourself or feel that you have reached such a dead end as this, but should you ever do so just remember that the solution to most things lies within us.   

I'll be back at work in April - see you then :)
