Dumb

I've learned a lot these last few weeks, and I'm trying to catch up my blog with all of my inspirational thoughts. At the BYUSA adventure experience, I truly learned so much. It was ridiculous. In a lesson, the teacher said this:

"I was scared. But the things I experienced... weren't scary at all. I was just being dumb."

One of my greatest flaws is that I kind find fear in almost anything. I fear what people think. I fear that I will have bad health when I grow up. I fear I will run out of gas in the middle of nowhere on the way to Idaho. I fear that I am not trying hard enough. I fear that I will fail. I fear. Period. When I am afraid, it overwhelms my whole body. I hate it. But I am slowly realizing that I could live in fear of everything, but that would be dumb. Plain stupidity. Yes, it is natural to feel afraid, but it is a choice. We can choose to conquer our fears and have faith. The two- fear and faith- cannot coexist. I know I can do hard things. God knows I can do hard things. He has faith in me, I have faith in Him, so I can have faith in myself and my surroundings and forget my fear.

Let's go. Let's forget our fears and move on. Let's jump over the fences of fear and graze in greener pastures. Without fear we can accomplish so much more. We can be who we were truly meant to be - divine human beings.

And that's what Jenny thinks.
