Let me first start out by saying that fear will cripple you. It will cause you to lose out on opportunities that are right in front of your face. Fear will cause self-doubt in whatever you’re setting out to do. It will speak to you loudly, saying things like: “You’ll fail. You’re not good enough. What a silly idea, it won’t go anywhere. You’re wasting your time, it’ll never work,” etc.

Fear will cause you to miss out on your purpose in life. And if you’re not careful, fear will steal everything that God intended for you to have. Fear is like a monster in the dark. It comes out to scare you and take control over your mind, body, and soul.

There’s nothing positive about fear, and nothing good will ever come out of it. Erase fear from your vocabulary. Don’t allow fear to take over your thinking. No matter what has taken place in your life as a child, teenager, or adult, you are BIGGER than fear.

Say it, believe it, live it. Transition your mindset to think positively. Of course it will take time, but as with anything, if you keep at it, it will become a habit. Fear has no place in our lives. It robs us of everything that’s meant to be ours.

I will not give up on me. For I have been down that road before. I remember what it’s like to walk away from something that I was so passionate about. I remember what it’s like to walk away from my dreams. I know what it feels like to settle for less than what I deserve. I know what it feels like to pretend that everything is okay when on the inside I’m hurting and full of pain. I know what it feels like to have sleepless nights…tossing and turning, wondering if things will ever change.

I know what it feels like to be waiting by the phone, hoping that you’ll call. I know what it feels like when you love somebody and they don’t love you back. I know what it feels like to give your heart to someone over, and over, and over again. I know what it feels like to be lied to…it didn’t seem to faze you one bit. I know what it feels like to not be put first in someone’s life because drugs and alcohol have the first priority. I know what it feels like to have low self-esteem. I KNOW…I KNOW! I know what it’s like to have a child and you think that it’s going to be the changing factor in your relationship. I know what it feels like to love someone so much, and yet they still don’t get it.

I know what it’s like to give up on me. I now know just how important I am. I count, and I deserve the VERY best!I am special…I am loving…I am loyal…I am beautiful on the inside…I am strong, and I am worthy and deserving of genuine love. I know my self-worth, so I will not give up on me! I will not give up on me! I will NOT give up on me! I am NOT a victim, I am victorious. Amen!

I want my readers to see themselves in this passage. Keep telling yourself that you won’t give up on YOU. Keep saying it until you believe it. Keep saying it until you achieve it. Do NOT give up on you. You’re much too important. Believe that!
