What If Fear Is Pointing You Forward?

This is for the many people who have been made redundant in the past few months - who are seeking a new path

You will find it. It will find you.

Fear Illuminates the Path
Over the years, I have danced many times with fear – learning how to resist, reframe and reconnect with my subconscious, to understand fears secret language. What I now know is that fear, when explored and understood, is not an obstacle holding you back, but a torch illuminating your deepest desires and a new way forward.

Fear Whispering Truths
 When I finally paused (or was forced to pause) to truly listen, fear was whispering powerful truths. It showed me exactly where my heart longed to go, precisely what matters most. Listening to fear became a game-changer. It wasn't my enemy, it just wanted to protect me from downsides. But inside, I was ready and excited for the upside. That’s when fear went from controlling me to freeing me. 

Reframe to Claim Your Power
Fear is, essentially, energy - raw, intense, potent energy that seeks to protect you, by not taking risks. Your fear-based, small self believes that keeping you small will keep you safe.  But energy can always be transformed, and fear reframed is where the real growth happens. Ask yourself, "What message is this fear holding for me?" Maybe it signals the leap you're secretly eager to take but afraid to claim aloud. Reframing enables us not to escape fear, but to harness the tremendous personal power it holds within. 

Dare to Feel, Dare to Leap
Acknowledging fear without being consumed by it is an art we never entirely perfect but continuously refine. Practising this reframing of fear doesn’t promise an easy path, yet it does promise self-belief, courage and new growth. Recognising that fear often marks the boundaries of our comfort zones allows us to step right past them. When you permit yourself to consciously move towards fear's whisper rather than away from it, unexpected doors swing wide open.

Your Fear is Your Calling
So here’s a perspective that might surprise or challenge you: what if fear is your calling? When something stirs deep enough to evoke fear, pay attention. Lean into it. Explore it. Protect yourself wisely, yes - but trust that the unknown territory fear highlights is something you also desire – and where your next evolution could lie. Your fear, when honestly unpacked and compassionately explored, could become the brightest guide illuminating your path forward. Let fear be your wake-up call, your spark, your guidepost.

After all, courage isn’t the absence of fear - it’s consciously using fear’s energy to find that opposite path that will light your way to growth.
