FIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!! FOR IT

What do you want most? What do you desire more than anything else? What is your heart hungriest for? What is the deepest thirst of your soul? Do you wish you could be happy and have peace? Is there a family relationship that you want to flourish? Do you want to find out who you really are or to prove your significance? Do you want to leave a lasting legacy in the world? What do you want most? Now for a different question: What do you fear most? What are you most eager to avoid? Maybe you’re scared of mice or spiders or heights, but I’m not talking about things like that. I’m talking about challenges that affect you at the core of who you are.
What makes you uneasy? Is there a person you’d rather not face, someone you try to avoid? Is there a memory you suppress and try not to think about, something from your past that haunts you? Is there a challenge that seems too hard for you to tackle? Do you have a secret weakness that you don’t like to think about and don’t want anyone else to know about? What makes you doubt yourself and wonder whether you’ve got what it takes to amount to something? What do you fear most?

 Sometimes what you fear most is connected to what you want most. The thing that troubles you may stand between you and the thing you want. You want a good
relationship with someone, but you are so afraid of rejection that you don’t dare to deal openly with the person. You want to overcome a painful memory, but you don’t dare to face the memory long enough to deal with it. You want to find out who you really are, but you’ve played a certain role for so long that you wonder if you’re stuck being somebody you’d rather not be. You want to succeed, but you’re so afraid of failure that you won’t take a risk. You want a big blessing, but you fear a big obstacle. Now the question is, how much do you really want that blessing? Do you want it enough to fight for it? To get the blessing, you may first have to face what you fear most. And in the process, you may be shocked to find that what you feared most isn’t as fearsome as something else, and that what you wanted most isn’t as desirable as the ultimate blessing.
