Fear is Nothing

I believe in always moving forward no matter how scared I am.

From my countless life experiences I realized one thing. Eventually everything works itself out, and in the end I’m better off than before. However I can’t stop trying to make the right choices, or do the right thing; otherwise it wont end up all better and I will regret it later.

My life is filled with unexpected events, things I can’t be prepared for, things I don’t expect. However they happen and I have to deal with them. I never know when someone will pass away and I will never see them again, but it happens everyday. I never knew that one early morning I said bye to my father for the last time. The possible events are terrifying, but I can’t stop moving forward. When someone leaves my life there is always another person entering it. I meet new people every day; some become my best friends who are as dear to me as a family member. So if I hide away because of the past misfortunes I will never see the future happiness that my life will bring.

I also have goals and things I want to do. All my I try to reach them and do my best so one day I can accomplish all of them. However I can’t predict what will happen in between those goals, how will my day to day lives be, and what each new day will bring. All of this unknown scares me, however I can’t give into that and stop striving forward only because I am intimidated by what is about to happen. Right now I am a junior in high school; next year I will be applying to a college, to finish my education. I will also have to find money for my classes, my food, and my house. Somehow I will have to survive for four years on a little pay check from my job. All of this scares me. I don’t know where Ill end up in four years, how I will do in college. After all, every step from now on will affect my life, career I choose to study in college will determine what I will be doing later in my life. All this pressure on my shoulders brings me down, and causes fear. However I know one thing. I have to keep moving forward. I have to overcome that fear and uncertainty, in order to get to my goals. I believe in myself, and that in the end it will all work out. I won’t stop because I’m scared, I will strive forward even if I’m scared.

I can’t give into the fear and stop living because I am scared, everyone is, but we all have to be strong and keep moving forward because every sad time is followed by some joyful time. I have to believe in myself, and all the fear will be worth overcoming, because of all the goodness that my life will bring along the way. So no matter how scary things get, I will always move forward, because I know I will reach happiness in the end. This I believe is one of the most important believe I have, to keep moving forward and hoping for the best.
