Today’s Daily Prompt:
You’re locked in a room with your greatest fear. Describe what’s in the room:
What is an excellent “W” question… however, my greatest fear would be who is in the room with me. And the answer, strangely enough, is me.
My greatest fear would be to find myself locked in a room with a hellish, unrelenting loop playing out, my own version of Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol,” narrated by an empty, unfulfilled, cowed and shriveled future embodiment of myself. The unspeakable torment of no escape from confronting my own pain filled eyes boring the question into my deepest soul, over and over again, “Why? Why didn’t you truly live?”
But, as with Dickens’ Ebenezer Scrooge… I have, within me, the ability to change this scenario. I am living and breathing today and I am not in that room. It is not too late.
What is your greatest fear? Do you, ultimately, have power over it…or it over you?

I read in 1John 4…somewhere in there…fear exists when love is missing. That woke me up.
Your words, so true…We have the ability to change…so let us love ourselves deeply in order to kick fear out & live the life He planned out for each of us!
Well done!

I have a swiss cheese grasp of logistics of blogging – still so much to learn. (things such as pingbacks, trackbacks, etc) I so agree that loving & accepting ourselves is what it takes to overcome fear! Thanks for your reply!
