Fears. I have them, and I'm sure you have them too. You know the feeling; your heart races, you breath shortens, your fists clench, your eyes shut tight, and you try to block out the world. You know that this therapy works as well as you want it to, so you add noise canceling headphones, just to be safe, and blast the music of your favorite artists. You use your imagination and do your best to pretend that you are in your happy place, filled with every memory that has ever made you smile. But, don't open your eyes, you say. Or you are going to have to start over and attempt to "re-zen" yourself. There's nothing wrong with that. Fears don't make you any less manly. It just makes you more human.
The only thing I ask of you is, don't let your fears control you. Don't let them bully you. Don't let them hold you back. So what? You experienced something that was a little out of your comfort zone and it caught you off guard. Big deal. But, are you really going to live with that for the rest of your life? Are you going to surrender and let that shadow trail behind you wherever you go? I hope we are thinking the same thing...No! Having fears is great! It means you have witnessed or even tried new things! Why stop now? Life is just getting to the good part!
What's really manly is overcoming your fears, pushing it to the limit, and spreading your wings no matter what possible scenario could happen! Be totally optimistic with it, go in with a great attitude and a smile on your face. You're only limited by your thoughts so carry on with that positivity and motivation to be completely fearless! Take risks, go outside of your comfort zone, and let loose. Once you do, this giant weight will be lifted and you'll be on track for bigger and better things. You can't back down now, show the world what you're made off! There's nothing in your way anymore so don't be haunted by your fears! After all, Franklin D. Roosevelt wasn't kidding when he said "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself!"
