Fears ..an Illusion

There was this mountain climber  who reached the summit of the peak he was scaling at midday.The challenge became getting down to a place of safety before the sun had set.As he descended he noticed the sun getting lower and lower.He quickened his pace but as the hours slipped away the light faded and the sun sank lower on the horizon.He began to grow frightened and many fears began to surface.He felt that if he did not get to the bottom of the mountain,he would be caught mid way and be placed in an extremely dangerous position,perhaps even falling to his death.

Finally the sun set and the climber found himself in utter darkness.desperate he fumbled to find something he could hold onto,eventually clinging to a branch that grew from a crevice in the stone face of the mountain.The climber spent the night hanging on to that branch frozen with fear,believing that if he let go of it,he would fall to his death on the rocks below.The night was nightmare for him-pure terror

But when the first ray of the morning cast light once again,he began to laugh.He could not believe what he saw.His fear was only an illusion.Only six inches below him rested a ledge.In the darkness he could not see it.But in the light he realized that all he had to do was to go six inches lower and he could have spent the night in safety and relative comfort.His fears were unfounded.His terror had no basis in reality


Fears are like that.They keep us small and shackled and spoil our lives.And yet every single of the fear we face is truly only SIX INCHES DEEP..


Do not let this fear own you..do not let them spoil your life
