Ever had an anxiety attack? It is like living through a nightmare , all the scenarios of things that can go wrong , all happening at one place and same time. Fear takes over reasoning, and you are transported from the present moment into a future from hell, You feel paralyzed by the out of control non stop chattering in your head, pushing you into a deeper hole of helplessness. Like a drowning man, you struggle to keep afloat, gasping for a breath, wishing the hush the voices in your head that sometimes spirals you out of control.
Insecurity and fear of change are the worst enemy. Fear erodes your self confidence and insecurity is like the shackles that imprisons you and is a major impediment in Living life. Fear is the product of insecurity. Life is unpredictable, and change is mandatory. The problem is change is unpredictable. Although consciously we are all aware of the fluid nature of our existence, yet we live in a state of denial.
I find the more comfortable I am in a situation, the more resistant I am for change. The more I hold on to what I have, the more I am insecure. Just like you need to eat healthy consistently, exercise regularly to maintain your physical health, you also need to contemplate on the impermanence of life everyday. Living in the moment requires all your attention. It is a practice , a regular meditati and ongoing work in progress.
There are some people who are strong enough to live a fulfilled life without faith, but I find it hard to survive just by logical thoughts about the reason we are existing. There is no reason to believe that the facts are truth. Believing in a power larger than us, empowers us to dream big. Believing in miracles, rises us above our belief that we are small and insignificant .
