Fears.

Fear can be a hard thing to deal with sometimes. There are so many things that I'm afraid of... from spiders and snakes, to the fear of being forgotten, or unloved. There are times when we allow our fears to define us. Sometimes we are so afraid of what other people will think that we do things that completely aren't who we are. We live in this constant state of being afraid of being rejected, or disliked. But Jesus was rejected, and very much disliked. That's something that's always been really hard for me to grasp. I like it when people like me, I like to please. I don't want to offend anyone. But sometimes it is necessary to speak truth to them. That's what Jesus did. And sometimes, the hardest person to tell that truth to can be yourself.

But fear isn't always the main thing. It's the ability to overcome those fears. After all,

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all. From now on you'll be traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow yourself to make the journey."

So maybe it's not about having fears, it's about overcoming them. It's about stepping over that boundary and becoming who you're supposed to be. Maybe, just maybe, you might end up liking that person better anyways.
