The greatest weapon in the world is fear. All men and women have a little of this fear in their lives, most of the time we ‘adults’ know how to harness this fear. I believe one of the reasons leaders, athletes and ordinary people become marathon runners, ultra runners/swimmers/trail-riders is because we like to get very close to that fear and beat it.

However, there are times when we need a little lift to fasten our hand onto a little crack in the face wall to pull us up to the next level. That’s not ‘cheating’ or giving up, its just plain old smart!

I find fear in these places: (once in awhile) Sunday night thinking about Monday mornings. Just before the gun goes off as I stand in the water at the starting line to a triathlon in the early morning. When I have startling news for a client. When I have many things which I’m leading and they are all ‘crying’ for my attention at the same time. Where do you find fear? Identify where (now) and picture it. Walk thru it. Ask yourself why? Ask yourself what would happen if fear won in that particular instance, would you still be loved by your husband and daughters? Would you still be safe? Would God still love you as His child? Would you still be you?

Parting note: maybe you need to clear your mind/desk/files and look closer at just a few things, drilling down into those? Pure and simple, that’s your life story, and look at how beautiful it is, like a sun flower in a field, God-given beauty. Do some clearing and drilling this afternoon.
