“Fear is the highest fence” – Dudley Nichols
I’m finding 50 is a great time to let “fear” become less of
a solid fence and more like a chain link fence.
At 50 there’s no solid fear that we need to hold on tight to. See the opportunities past the fear and decide,
“Why not try that ____” instead of “Wait, don’t try that until _____.”
At 50, there are going to be more and more “big” events in
our lives that we’ve never experienced.
But all the other fearful events we’ve already come through have made us
ready for whatever life will bring in this season of our lives.
If you’re a parent, watch the cool things your kids are
trying and more importantly doing! Would
you have ever tried those things? If you
did, see you lived through them too. If
you haven’t, well…they’re doing just fine aren’t they?
What “fear” are you letting block your view of
possibilities? Try it, you might just
like it. At the least, you’ve broken
through the fear and can see the safety of not trying it again, or you might
just like what’s on the other side of the fear. Jump the fence or find the gate, open it and walk through the fear!
