When Fear Becomes Normal
When fear becomes your norm, it’s often because you’ve jumped ahead in your mind...
"To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves." – Virginia Woolf
We often think of freedom as something we fight for - something outside of us that must change so we can finally feel peace.
But what if true freedom doesn’t come from changing the world around you?
What if it comes from within?
Uncontrolled anger may feel like power in the moment. But when the storm passes, what are you left with?
- Fractured relationships
- Guilt and regret
- A loss of trust
- Feeling like a prisoner to your own emotions
Freedom is not found in letting rage take the lead.
Freedom is found when you take the lead.
It’s in choosing calm over chaos.
It’s in responding with clarity rather than reacting from pain.
It’s in setting yourself free from the patterns that no longer serve you.
You don’t need the world to shift so you can feel safe.
You need to remember that you are strong enough to shift your world.
If anger has become your coping tool, it’s time to learn a new way - one that empowers, not destroys.
One that creates a connection instead of breaking it.
One that leads to peace… and freedom.
You were never meant to live in emotional bondage.
You were born to be free.

Fear and doubt will ensure that you talk yourself out of your new venture even before you start.
As a leader, you are the tone setter.
“I like to say it’s an attitude of not just thinking outside the box, but not even seeing the box.” - Safra A. Catz
As a leader, your team is watching more than your strategies, they’re watching how you treat yourself.
