DISSY moments push us into; Being afraid to live and afraid to die. So many times we find ourselves stuck in the DISSY middle with no way out.


If we decide to live and follow our child withins intuition, we get so wrapped up in what “COULD” happen and all the fears associated with taking risks and we become afraid. On some subconscious level we think that by living we will die. In our fear-based thoughts, risk equals death. At the root of not moving forward, a lot of us admit they think they will just spontaneously combust if they take too many risks – like recovery will destroy them if they take too many risks.


So in this way it is the fear of death that prevents us from living. And when we stop living we invite a certain kind of death into our experience.


Being afraid to live and afraid to die is a wonderful trick: fear-based ego thinking keeps us in our comfort zone.


There is an evolutionary reason for this. Fear helps us survive.


But today we are about more than just surviving – we are about thriving. Thriving means more than just existing. It means living at our own unique Highest Potential, which requires us to take a step outside of our comfort zone daily.


We are grateful for fear, but allow ourselves to make a choice from a higher place, from a place of trust. The ironic thing is that once we die to our fears, we can live. So living does require that we die, that we die to our fears, our doubts and our old ways of thinking. We must let our fears die and be reborn. We must take that first scary step out with trust that we will either know how to fly or that we will be caught.


Let us step into the knowing that it's by dying to our fears that we live. Let us take action on this and realise the only way to die to our fears is to face them.


Let us face them with the solid faith that our child within when contacted has got our back.


It’s kind of fun to live life not knowing what’s going to happen next. What fears can you die to today?
