One fear of mine, that really gets in the way of my success is financial fear. I am always insecure about my financial well-being. This dives way deeper than the fact that I am always broke. Because I do not know what I want to do as far as work after I graduate school, this plays into my financial fears. If I don't have a occupation, how am I going to be comfortable as a self-supporting adult? How am I going to provide for a family?
How I work with this fear is simple but not easy. I stay active in the solution: I continue to look for work, and I go to school, and eventually I'll figure out what I want to do for work when I grow up. Also, I stay faithful to the God of my understanding that I will continue to be taken care of like I have been all these years.
Fear, it takes away my cheer,
It sits in the driving seat, insisting it will steer.
It's hard not falling victim to fear,
I have a sense for when it is near.
It pops up everywhere, touches everything,
And all it does is leave you with a nasty sting.
Fear was my slave master for my years,
Making me feel sadness and shed tears.
Faith is the only thing that can conquer fear,
The only thing that will make you clear.
Living by faith will set you free,
From the fear that prohibits you from glee.
Fear lives in your head and preys on you when you're weak,
Fear is the reason you sometimes feel so meek.
So don't live in fear, live in faith,
And then all your dreams, you can freely chase.
Good post.
ReplyDeleteFinancial fear is a big one for many people. It's survival. And many people set the bar of success for their lives in terms of how much money they make.
Good post, but I'd like to see you write more. I feel like you have the talent and the thought to go and write much more on each of these topics, especially if you want to gain some true insight. Expand your post, expand your mind.
Go deeper. Try not to rush.
Your poem is great. Good flow.
I like the second line:
It sits in the drivers seat, insisting it will steer.
Great line.
