Fear
It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.
She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.
And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.
But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.
Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.
The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that’s where the river will know
it’s not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean.
Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)

Moving forward can be scary, yet it’s only in doing so that we can overcome fear to realise our resilience, our potential and find our happiness and self worth.
Allow yourself to release expectation and with it your fear related to the outcome. Allow yourself to be in the flow, it’s there that life exists 💕
Thank you my beautiful friend at Bu Therapy for sharing this with me those years ago xx
