Fear is here. Si Ekin's Courage Journal. 12th July, 2012

Posted on 12 Jul, 2012 by Si Ekin

Just had the privilege of doing a motivational talk (I don't like that phrase very much, but people identify with it, it seems!) speaking at the SACAP/ Juta Festival of Learning, doing my talk, now named, "Connecting with courage."

I think – judging by the smiles, nods, questions and energy - that many people got something valuable from it. (17 people filled out an anonymous form identifying their one big problem and the ideal solution. 12 of them requested my help.)

I am on a remarkable journey, and it just gets more and more interesting, even when I think it can't. I did my 168th talk of the year yesterday to a total of 1865 people. It seems that I keep moving through layers of fear and I am handling them all! (My fear with the talk yesterday was that I would keep to the time limit and do a good job!) Of course, I have other fears that I am not facing, but I trying!

I ask myself, can life be so good, that we can live with fear, as opposed to trying to hard to banish and live without fear? I really think it is possible. It is said that God (insert your word) does not give us anything that we cannot handle.

I get that I can handle any fear (and if I can't I will be dead, and I will handle that too;) it is my programming. Now, I am not looking to be fearful, but it feels good to just be with it and know that it is going to be okay.

I am really getting that, as a life coach, I am helping people transform their fears, and THAT feels good.

Courageously yours,

Si.
