It can put you in a position Of living in duress. PAUSE So, take a minute and breath, And touch upon your fear. Is it holding you back, Try to observe it And get clear. PAUSE Now, give your fear a voice, Let it rumble and rant. Then acknowledge it And thank it, And repeat that like a chant. PAUSE Keep yourself steady, Let the fear burst into flames. Watch it from a distance– Take a step back from the pain. PAUSE And through fear’s ashes, See yourself rise. Breathe. Embrace it. Let yourself fly. PAUSE And while floating above the fear, Listen gently to these words. They’re probably something You haven’t heard. In The Way of the Peaceful Warrior These potent words are said: “Courage is not the absence of fear But the conquering of it.” Take a moment, And breathe in this quote. Take a moment To really connect with What Millman wrote. PAUSE For fear is state That exists in our mind. It can be realistic, But it can also make us blind.
