Your Fear Is Limiting Your Potential

"I heard a voice that told me I'm essential. How all my fears are limiting my potential. Said it's time to step into the light and use every bit of power I have inside." Indea Arie

 In my past posts I have talked about being afraid of your future, and yes, I know this can be a difficult obstacle to overcome, and it is a bit more than just letting go of control, the step I had mentioned in my previous post, but we have to begin to break these limits that we have set on ourselves, our dreams, and overall, our potential.
 You see, these fears that we have, the fears about our future that we are walking into, they are limiting the potential of what we can become. You see, the only thing holding us back from our dreams and what we an become in them is our fear. See, we don't want to dream dreams that are too big, or we don't want to have expectations for ourselves that we can't fulfill, so we set these "realistic" limits. Limits that we have so that we don't have to worry about not fulfilling something that, maybe we couldn't, so that we don't have to stress over thinking that something just won't work out. But that right there, my friend, that is your fear. That is what is limiting you to this darker place in which you are living in the shadow of your true potential that, if you keep setting these limits on yourself and on your future, you will never reach.
 So today, we need to do as the quote above tells us to. We need to listen to that voice inside of us, the one that created us and our potential in the first place, and we need to walk into the light that is on the other side of our fear and doubt. Yes, it may be a scary step, but what we have to know is this; we can't worry about not fulfilling our potential, and we can't be concerned that we won't be enough, but instead, we have to tap into this power that we have inside of us, the power that God has waiting for us, and once we do, He is going to make sure that we reach the high potential that He has for us, no matter how many realistic limits He may have to break, He is going to get you to where He wants you to be, so you don't have to be afraid.
