Fear exposes us
Fear can expose us. This was April of 2020. Covid was ramped up and I was 5 months in on a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. I am holding my 1 year old son in this picture. The fear level was high due to the diagnosis, the threat level was through the roof because of Covid. I was deemed one of the most vulnerable people on the planet. Immune system compromised and taking chemo. I tried my best to drown out the noise but Covid was everywhere. Everywhere you turned it was death tolls and unknowns. Navigating that was a wild ride mentally and emotionally. But fear was ramped up everywhere and I’m not sure we as a society have truly ever bounced back. But those times taught me something. We talk about being fearless and fear is a liar, but I learned fear isn’t always lying. If we pay attention it is teaching us something, something about us. I think we get so caught up in fighting against it that we don’t learn what it is trying to teach us. It can teach us about ourselves. Where we are cowards, where we lack conviction, where we hide and shrink back when we should rise. We learn that maybe we are not as solid and steadfast as we would like the world around us to believe. But these areas for growth, tough conversations with ourselves. These are areas that don’t get exposed until they do. #fear #growth #expand
