Walk towards fear.....

We've always been taught kutsi if you don't know something , stay away from it ane? and us 'bornfree's' were also taught ukutsi we must have no fear but....keep it here ne.....lol the things our parents teach us....

My sister once went to a motivational talk and this guy asked for 3 people....(i think...cloudy memory here) to stand up and come to the stage...... hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah muntvu lomnyama utak'caza.... you know when you don't know why they are asking and you have the urge to just put up your hand, and your heart is thumping and your contemplating what people are gonna say..... yeah she had that feeling and nes 'n swartie there (I generalize a lot ne?)....decided to stay to keep her hands where she could see them ,in her seat.... the speaker wanted to give the 3 his book which cost about +-R200 but guess what..... mense were so bang to stand because they didn't know what he was calling them for.... " UNGAPHAPHI, HLALA PHANSI NE?

How many times have we had that answer in math class but been afraid that it's wrong? so we put our hands in our books and wait for the smart ones to answer...... and then its right then you hear a couple of " i knew it"...or my personal favourite....(mostly because of the irony)...'ngishilo'.....nini?

I've always been afraid to tell people how i feel about some topics or discussions.... it's more likely that the 'what will they think of me?' question arises quite alot.... but i have one philosophy ( ave nginemanga njalo...i have plenty but humour me)..... WALK TOWARDS FEAR....

There are so many great things housed at the other side of the fear door, Its like a closed door that your afraid to open coz its you think its another mans house but just open the door..... alot of people listen to house, so much so that when they get to the door, they tune a 'jika utsi' 360 and leave..... My word, the possibilities that lie in overcoming fear are plentiful.....

Bakhiti, A reality we must face is that things we don,t know will scare us at time...... But the benefits usually outweigh the fear.... Gosh we need to grow, in one of my favourite movies, Mel Gibson's Apocolypto, one of the first scenes there, a father teaches his son that fear is a disease and those infected by it are rotting.... he explains how one must not fear and all die goedtjie....

But what the Son does at the end, though some may see it a different way, is he makes fear his inspiration to get things done, to escape and save his fams.... whoooooo that flipping made me jump outta my seat and cheer for this guy. I mean talk about fresh angles..... HE WALKED TOWARDS FEAR.... I literally said it and my mom was like.... aah that's what the word means by saying "Do not be afraid"....Defy fear and walk towards it.....

When lion trainers say to you don't be afraid, they usually mean don't show it fear show it braveness.... i guess that's what I'm saying, don't be afraid of being laughed at because of your difference or dreams, don't fear what people will say countering your honesty, don't be afraid to fall coz you'll get up stronger, shucks don't be afraid to live...... don't be afraid to be hurt.....rejoice at it..... halalalala do a nyana nyana dance njena because it's the testing that ensures you get a qualification...... Motho....(love it when Akhona says it)......

Don't fear to dream, feel, laugh, have a moment, shine and be your best.....fear is that invisible gate that blocks the house, that dog that's constantly barking at you as you want to walk in, that caution sign, it's doubt, its pessimism, that voice that says "there are others who know more, have seen more, have more and are better"; its that voice that says what are you doing?.....TELL THAT ISH YOUR GOING FORWARD..... Let fear be your sign that great things are here...Let it motivate you.... i beg of you.... please toe

Just WALK TOWARDS FEAR, DEFY IT AND REAP YOUR REWARDS

And Consider it pure Joy...
