Choose Faith Over Fear
A journey from worry to trust, from fear to freedom
Choose faith over fear. I have heard this many times and I am sure you have as well. However, I really didn't understand it until I did it. In one of my morning journaling sessions, I laid it all out. I wrote everything that I want to do and be and have however, I was doing everything towards everything I want from a place of fear. Fear of what you ask? Fear of not doing well, fear of failure, fear of showing up everyday.
The reason I chose these type of videos is because I am a writer and a storyteller therefore, my way of showing up in the world is through my words. Through my writing. Being a mom of three, a student, and a writer and somewhat a content creator, I always felt stressed showing up to do the things I love. I came from a place of chores rather then enjoying them.
I love my family and they will always be a priority but after that, everything else I desire should come.
Instead, I spend that time watching youtube videos, doubting myself even more, and following a path that was not leading me anywhere. Excuses after excuses of why I'm not getting anywhere. However, until I didn't write it all down, I didn't understand. I didn't understand that all I have to do is choose faith. All I have to do is choose what I love, not what others love.
I am not saying social media and youtube is a waste of time, it isn't there are many learning and motivational platforms however truth be told we don't all watch those now do we? Instead we waste our time doom scrolling and taking in information that is not needed, I rather fill my brain with positivity, faith, allowance of manifestation, and letting the god within me just take me on a ride of trust ease and simplicity.

Our life gets as hard as we make it out to be. It is all in our control. So what is it that you are choosing? Is it fear or faith? Is it worrying or letting go? Is it working on yourself or someone else?
Once you let god take over then you don't have to worry. You don't have to say yes to anything you don't want. You don't have to worry about fomo. I have seen so many people say yes to invitation from a place of fomo, fear of missing out. I realized that when you let god take over, you will be guided in the right direction automatically without any worry.
You will never miss an opportunity which is for you. You will write beautifully when you let God control your pen.
Recently, I have watched many videos on authors, especially indi authors and one thing I have realized is that my path is different. I want to be traditionally published and I know when the time is right, I will be glided in that direction. There is no fear guys.
My Favorite Time of Year
I love writing this time of the year. I love sitting in my office with the candle lit, working on my novel, homework, and even planning my videos. It is my favorite time of the year. However, with worry and fear, I was not getting anywhere. I was just waking up to this feeling of not being fulfilled.
Until I woke up this morning and realized to write it all out. I have always journaled but this journaling was kind of bitter because I made myself realize what my faults were and the direction I was going was leading me nowhere but to poor health and poor life in general.
However, with my new way of being, I am inviting ease, trust, and knowing. Knowing that it will be taken care of. Knowing that I can choose ease and still get what I want, I don't have to work my but off for it.

So my friend, what is it that you will choose? Faith or fear?
Until next time, have a wonderful day!
