Fear: Life Itself

Sat, 04/19/2014 - 19:05 -- Qualema

To live without fear is a life unlived.

Fear molds us into who we are meant to be.

Time is of the essence in the life we live.

When it runs out, we reflect, we introspect, and we prospect.

Did we live to the fullest of our extent ?

Did we achieve all that we set out to achieve ?

Did we remain believers in a world full of those who do not believe ?

Are we content with the cards we were dealt, as we sort through our deck ?

Maybe the two jokers threw you for a stretch.

Did you smile every chance you got ?

Did you change at least one other life for the better ?

Or do you live in a life of woe, waiting to die with the soul of a wretch ?

I know not about you, but know this of I, I live to the fullest of my extent everyday, every hour, every minute, and every second of the day.

We know not of our impending death, we must live in the moment passionately and not live passionately in the moment.

Do you know when your end is to come ?

Always fear that everyday is your last, it will fuel you to live more free.

Clarity will bestow upon you and you will see.

An untamed heart will feed the soul to allow you to be who you were meant to be.
