fearful-thoughts

It's a tiring game resenting the scars and the fearful memories.

Only your fearful and doubtful thoughts could defeat you in life.

Those thoughts come to me in the night, those thought and thoughts of becoming sick or helpless, of the nursing home, of lingering death. I gnaw again the old bones of the fear of what is to come, and grieve with a sisterly grief over Grandmam and Mrs. Feltner and the other old women who have gone before. Finally, as a gift, as a mercy, I remember to pray, 'Thy will be done,' and then again I am free and can go to sleep.

Fear is nothing but a thought. So try not to become its victim. You were born to be the captain of your own thoughts.

The occasional or frequent arrivals of fearful and doubtful thoughts in your mind don't mean that you aren't stronger than your struggles, challenges and obstacles. You should never hesitate for a second to challenge and replace them with words of encouragement whenever they arise.

Your fears in life are only as fearful as you constantly interpret them to be.
