Fear not

Why do we live in fear?
We are afraid of failure.
We are afraid of the future.
We are afraid of pain.
We are afraid of death.
What does this fear do for us?
In choosing to be afraid, we choose a fate of reluctance.
Of dragging our feet to the next building,
Cautiously tip-toeing around the cracks will only make us unhappy.
Let yourself be free.
Let your life be free.
Live it with full purpose and confidence, giving thought to not what's ahead,
But at this moment.
Be happy with what you have today, and don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid to shine.
Don't be afraid to be amazing in your own way.
Do not fear failure. Mistakes make you humble.
Do not fear the future. It's as bright as you make it.
Do not fear pain.  Pain makes you strong.
Do not fear death.  It happens to the best of us.
With fearing death, one may fear the unknown.
But riddle me this:
How could something so beautiful and intricate as is the mind and human soul
Remain stuck in the grave?
We are magnificent beings. Look at all humankind has accomplished.
Could this all come from nothing?
Death is not the end.
Your ideas, your intelligence, your personality, your love, your gifts, your beauty...lives on.
With this knowledge, don't live in fear.
Live in happiness and be confident you are capable of anything.
