Fear Of The First Step

What do we do to overcome fear?

The biggest fear is fear itself
Being afraid to take that first step
Or being frightened of staying in the same place...

It's like taking a dive into a pool off a diving board
Standing up there...
Frozen...
Paralyzed...
At the same time wanting time to stagnate
So that the both of you can take the plunge together
When you're ready.
But time carries on
And it's all up to you...

It's only that initial move -
Once you've flung yourself out
It simplifies instantly
And even more so when you meet the water
'Cause you've relinquished control
And follow the flow
And manipulate your movements and actions according to the breeze and the waves...

So why is it so hard to start?
Why cant we give up control when taking that first step too?

  1. No faith, no joy in living
    no love, no truth, no friendship
    we don't dare to break free
    from shackles and shambles of life
    we say life gave us nothing
    but are afraid to let go
    we say fate has been unfair
    but dare not we go
    where it takes us!

    if it just hadn't been that difficult to start!!!
