A child fears monsters under the bed, until a parent turns on the light. The monsters vanish, revealing only shadows.

So too with life‘s challenges. What we cannot see, we imagine as threats.

But shine awareness on your fears. Examine them closely, without flinching.

You may find that the monster is just a shadow. The mountain, just a hill. The terror, just a thought.

Fear thrives in ignorance. Knowledge is the antidote. To see clearly is to be free.

The unknown loses its power when we turn our gaze upon it.
