Giving My Fears a Face

I’m scared I’ll work in customer service forever.

I’m scared I’ll work for minimum wage forever.

I’m scared I’ll work for companies forever.

I’m scared a tragic ending, could end my life.

I’m scared when my parents pass, it’ll be hard for me, mentally and financially.

I’m scared I don’t spend as much time with my brothers as I need to.

I’m scared I spend too much time online, and not in real life.

I’m scared I’ll be alone forever.

I’m scared I won’t ever shoot my shot.

I’m scared people I haven’t talked to in a while, don’t love me anymore.

I’m scared I’ll never advance my skills to put myself in a place where I can be fully independent.

I’m scared I’ll have to work to death.

I’m scared I’ll be toxic in a relationship.

I’m scared I’m not that talented at anything.

I’m scared the things I put my time, money, and energy into won’t reflect what I value.

I’m scared I haven’t made a lasting, meaningful positive impact on my people, my loved ones, my community, and the world, that will reverberate many generations ahead.

I’m scared I won’t find happiness in anything I do professionally.

I’m scared I’ll lose the heart to put time, money, and energy into the things that I value.

Positive energy.

Cheering them on.

Mentally supporting them. Encouragement.

Get to the top.

Help the other people up.

Put the good energy out there, good energy will come back.
