Willingness to challenge obstacles seems scary, but before you turn away, look at how your darkness shakes when you begin to understand ways to create a better life.

Our demons trail us in fear of the day that we turn around and stop fearing them.

Things that control us for extended periods of time, do so because we are terrified to face them. We are scared of what may come of seeing the true colors of the controllers that hold ties to our sadness. We neglect to step into the light that waits to lead us, and as a result of fear, we open many opportunities to be stepped on. Another approach to consider is that we simply don’t know how to turn around when we want to. We avoid fighting the uncomfortable action of finding a reason to be at peace, because we have never known what it feels like to do so.

The bottoms of our feet give out eventually, and our demons stand over us waiting for us to get up and try again. We remain lost until we build the courage to turn around and see that we have not been running from shadows, we have been running from lessons. Lessons that want to guide us and help us move past our miseries consistent way of redirecting our purpose.

When you face your problems and find ways of creating new moments you begin to understand how to let misery go so that you can focus on a peaceful and grateful mind. Your demons only know what binds you to the past and supports their hold of you in the present. Let them see you try to let go and watch their demons create demons for themselves instead.

If you find comfort in a place where your problems live, what chances are you willing to take to find a home where your heart can love?
