Our fear strengthens our faith

We take the clickbait again and again hoping for the quick fix, the fast track, the short cut, the straightforward solution to whatever it is we are trying to figure out.

We are a self conscious society that has very little tolerance for our own perceived limitations.

The truth is - we have been made to believe there should be short term solutions to complex problems.

Cancel culture highlighted this in a BIG WAY. We come across people that have differing views and opinions and perspectives and instead of holding some space with curiosity - we deny them, shut them out, insult them and create an even bigger divide.

We need to stop looking for quick fixes and instead ask ourselves how can we develop sustainable practices in every area of our lives.

How can we devote ourselves to planting the seeds of the world we want to leave behind rather than just harvesting what’s easiest for us to digest in this moment.

We can do so much better.

We can begin with the way we process our own fears. For most, we are spending a lot of time, money and resources trying to avoid fear - looking for ways to live without it altogether.

It’s not going to work. You’ll always experience fear.

How you relate to it and how you process it.. well, that’s completely within your control and it’s pretttty cool that we can work within ourselves, as ourselves to cultivate a way to be with our fear and actually realise that fear and faith are just two sides of the same coin.

Our fear strengthens our faith.

We need it.
