Fear is a liar
Heard this new song on the radio called “Fear is a Liar” by Zach Williams. Very powerful. It went right to my heart, gave me chills, and made me cry. It made me realize how much of my life I’ve lived in fear.
Afraid of not being good enough or smart enough or pretty enough.
Afraid of saying or doing or thinking the wrong thing.
Afraid of what people would say or think about me.
Afraid of leaving my comfort zone and trying something new.
Afraid of doing something for my health.
Afraid of getting on the scale and recording what I eat.
When I first walked into the gym at 5:30 am on July 20, 2016, I was afraid.
And there are still days when I’m afraid. But I know now that I can do things I never thought I could do, both in the gym and in life.
I’ve discovered that fear is indeed a liar. It will make you doubt your belief in yourself, in your strength, your courage, your ability, your will.
It will cause you anxiety and depression.
It will cause you to worry and to be afraid.
My gym is no place for fear.
As for the rest of my life and fear? I’m working on it.
Because fear is a liar.
