Love The Fear Of The Unknown | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Are you going to let anxiety hold you hostage? Stop now. Say, "Fuck off dude." We have to face anxiety head-on which is terrifying but we cannot let fear control us.

Instead, recognize that anxiety is the fear of the unknown. Fear hates when we ignore them so ignore your fears. Piss anxiety off. Take a deep breath and encourage yourself to go carpe diem the day, you deserve it.

Once you can accept that anxiety is a part of you than you can move on from it. We have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Now is the time to live in the present. This life is too short to live in fear.

We are mortal beings, meant to live, laugh, and love. Cliche, I know, but cliches are cliches for a reason.

Welcome anxiety in. Glance over your shoulder and say, "Hey dude, I see you there but I am going to go out tonight and you are going deal with it." Now go out. You did the most important step by telling anxiety you see them but choose not to obey their rules.

The universe wants you to live fully in the present. To be grateful for this precious life doing whatever it is that makes you happy. To lather yourself in immense amounts of self-care and self -love.

Once you can kick fear to the curb you open the open doors to discovering who you really are. This gives you the chance to find your passions, your goals, your pet peeves, what makes you laugh, what makes you smile, what makes you you.

Your opportunity to reveal your most authentic self is now. GO find them. Love your authenticity unconditionally, you just have to get rid of the fear of the unknown. You can. I know you can. I know you will.

Treat fear with excitement. Alter your reality. We are our reality. Instead of fearing the unknown look at it as a journey of the future. Life would be so boring if we knew what came next or how our world would play out. There would be no excitement. No gratitude. Gratitude is significant, we should appreciate every moment we experience. These moments allow us to learn to love and transform. Change is vital for our growth. Without change, we would not bloom.

Are you ready to tell fear to fuck off and dive into the infinite possibilities of growth?

The answer is yes. Yes, you are, now plunge into the plethora of gardens awaiting your bloom.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
