All of us have our own ghosts of our past that live inside of us as emotional scars. These are scars that we have collected over the years through life's tough lessons. The thing is, we all have these ghosts from our past that haunt the person that we are today. Nothing is going to change the past, or change the way that it has shaped us. These scars are a fact of life. However, the problem comes in when we let them dictate our very existence. When we push people away because we are scared of getting hurt, or when we don't allow others in because we are scared they might not like what they see in us, we are allowing the scars to dictate and limit us in the present.
Scars are inevitable. We will encounter pain in our lives; we can't control that. However, we can control how we deal with that pain. If we allow it to stick with us, it turns into fear, and that fear holds us back. That fear can hold us back from experiencing some incredible opportunities or from allowing some incredible people into our lives.
There comes a time when we have to set that fear loose. To realize that what is in front of us is worth the risk of pain; worth the risk of uncertainty. I don't want to miss out on something this great just because I am scared. I refuse to let fear get in the way.
