I Refuse to Live In Fear

“For someone who refuses to live in fear, you sure are afraid a lot...”
— says my Inner Critic…..

Now, I’ve worked with my Inner Critics long enough to know not to take this at face value. No, it’s not proof that  I am a fraud. Actually it’s an affirmation that I am on the right path, living my dreams and being of service to the world.

We truly do teach what we need to learn. It could be no other way.
Yes, I feel afraid a lot. The choice I make is to not to LIVE in  fear.

Enjoy this rare peek you into one of my art journals for a poem/painting/art-journal/video dear to my heart:

Here are the words:

I Refuse to Live in FEAR
by Katherine Torrini

I refuse to live in fear.

Fear’s only goal
is to survive.
I choose instead
to be alive!

I choose to risk
I choose to fail
I choose to fly!

I would sooner
live my life
in danger than
live my life afraid.

I choose to wear my dreams
for all the world to see
I choose to bare my soul
to show you all of me

I decry the lie
that fear can
keep you safe.

In fact, I renounce
my faith in fear.
I choose instead
to put my faith in love.

I choose to
open up my heart
and let you in again
–even if that means
we’re torn apart.

I choose to risk my life
to live the life that’s MINE.

I refuse to live in FEAR
I choose to live my life ALIVE!­­­

P.S. You’ll never get rid of fear (or your Inner Critic, for that matter!) What you can absolutely develop  a healthy relationship with fear. Yes! Not only is it possible– it’s required—to be able to take the kind of creative risks that your Sacred Spark is hungry for….like maybe even just clicking through to check out the Sacred Spark Creativity Incubator? 😉 Trust me, it’s way scarier in your head than it is in real life.

P.P.S. If you are ready– and I mean READY–to stop struggling and finally allow your Sacred Spark to shine –then I offer a surprisingly delightful journey into what you desire. Come play with me!
