Pain is Poison

 “If fear is like poison to our lives, then hope is the only antidote.”

People may read this and think that I believe mere hope is the only cure for a fearful heart, but that is not exactly how I mean it. Of course hope is the only way to begin fighting fear but you have to have some sort of action along with. 

You can hope all day along but if you never do anything with your hopes, well the fear just creeps back in and the cycle starts all over again. It's funny how we let the slightest perception of failure allow us to back track. We fall into our deepest nightmares in a second. 

I am beginning to realize that some fear is not crazy. It makes sense why I am scared. Yet, it is still a poison in my life. However, I have gotten used to the side effects. Hope fades a little bit each day and I do not even notice. Yet, I realize I am not alone in this. 

Sometimes, all you can hope for is that life hurts a little less. At times it’s  silly to hope for a miracle or some unanticipated change to happen to you. Sometimes it is enough to just hope for a little ray of sunshine. To hope for things to seem a little bit better for just a few hours. 

People forget that life has to be taken in strides. Healing takes days or years. So little doses of hope is all you can take in order to get better. And that is a beautiful thing. Horrible at times, but beautiful. 

My “diagnosis” for fear is to find the little things that bring you a bit of hope. Absorb it into your blood stream. Let it fight the poison of fear and doubt. It will be painful and that's okay. Because one day I promise, it will feel a little better. Never lose sight of the hope that tomorrow will be a little better and the sun just may shine a little brighter. And hey if tomorrow is not that way, hope the next day will be. 

Keep fighting and stay excellent,
