I have learned how to overcome some of these and I am still working through others. One of my biggest forms of resistance is fear. Fear consumed my life, it stopped me from doing activities I loved, and getting out of activities I hate. An example in my life is, when I was in high school I played on the varsity basketball team, and I hated it. I dreaded going to practice and games. Yet, I did not stop. While others might see this as a good thing since I did not give up, I look at it as huge mistake. I allowed fear to consume for four years. In those four years I could have found my passion, got better grades, spent more time with my family. I was terrified of what others would think, especially my coach. I let fear control me, and it is something that I am ashamed of. Once I got out of that terrible situation, I told myself that I was never going to allow myself to paralyzed by my fear. It has not been easy. I’ve learned that you can fall in love with your fear. I was in love with my fear, I was comfortable, and secure. It became a bad relationship, and the only way to help myself was to break up with it. Breaking up with my fear has been liberating, and freeing. I find myself happy and content. I still struggle with, but I have learned how to control it, instead of allowing it to control
