The Definition of Fear
The definition of pain is: discomfort or distress due to a sickness or injury.
It is a condition.
A temporary feeling.
It is a concept of the mind.
Warning shots from your body, begging you to adjust.
To correct.
It
is not a person. Nor being.
A reference point, not
a decision maker.
The definition of fear is: an unpleasant emotion caused by belief that something is dangerous.
Fear is reaction.
It is shield out. Walls up like Jericho.
It is brother of pain.
Its secret supplement.
Does not prevent pain
but
often travels with.
Does prevent healing.
Pain, is the wisdom of the body.
But
is not the body.
It is discomfort, not disability.
Fear is the evil twin blurring the lines of two things that are very different.
Meshing process with punishment.
Training with torture.
Pain and fear
both rooted in wisdom
often look the same.
But
pain is an adjustment period.
A message to your muscles
to push. To grow.
Fear is the muscles not knowing their own strength.
You cracking under the weight of your own worth.
Mistaking a swimming lesson with drowning.
It is an illusion.
It can be overcome.
Fear is a fool’s fallback.
Pain is your body’s form of common sense.
Pain may be the burn
but fear
hides from the sun.
Pain may be the fall
but fear
refuses to stand again.
Fear will pollute the heart’s residence
if you choose to dwell in it.
If you fail to see that pain is just an isle for the cure to walk down.
It is a boot camp for your blessings.
To fear the pain in something
could also be
to fear the gain in something.
It is allowing the fruit of the spirit to rot before time has come to bloom.
It is the stories you believe about yourself
but have never read.
It is the image you carry of yourself
from pictures you’ve never seen.
It is the words you use to describe yourself that did not come from your heart.
It is an illusion.
And it can be overcome.
