Face your Fears!!!

Dear Friends

Happy Weekend

Once when I was in Varanasi, I was passing through a place 

where there was a large tank of water on one side and a high wall on the other. 

It was in the grounds where there were many monkeys. 

The monkeys of Varanasi are huge brutes and are sometimes surly. 

They now took it into their heads not to allow me to pass through their street, 

so they howled and shrieked and clutched at my feet as I passed. 

As they pressed closer, I began to run, but the faster I ran, the faster 

came the monkeys and they began to bite at me. 

It seemed impossible to escape, but just then I met a stranger 

who called out to me, "Face the brutes." 

I turned and faced the monkeys, and they fell back and finally fled. 

That is a lesson for all life — face the terrible, face it boldly. 

Like the monkeys, the hardships of life fall back when we cease to 

flee before them. 

If we are ever to gain freedom, it must be by conquering nature, 

never by running away. 

Cowards never win victories. We have to fight fear and troubles and 

ignorance if we if we expect them to flee before us.

What is death? What are terrors? 

Do you not see the Lord's face in them? 

Fly from evil and terror and misery, and they will follow you. 

Face them, and they will flee. 

The whole world worships ease and pleasure, and very few dare to 

worship that which is painful. 

To rise above both is the idea of freedom. 

Unless man passes through this gate he cannot be free. 

We all have to face these.

Friends, step out of your comfort zone.

Face your fears

Do what scares you until it does not

Only when we are no longer afraid, we begin to live

Kind Regards
