Independency


Fear.

A giant wall built faster than it can be dissolved.

For every positive thought there seems to be ten fearful ones to drown it out.

At times it seems easier to fight fear with others by your side.

Morale seems stronger but in the silence.

In moments of being alone waves of fear seem to be overwhelming with no one else

to rescue you from your mind.

But in those moments ,finding the strength inside of yourself to quiet the ambient

noises of fear, a certain resilient spirit grows.

A spirit of independence.

The moment that you overcome yourself, your own mind, you have started on 

the path of becoming whole.

Growing into a person that will not be shaken by life's experiences because of an

unshakeable inner peace.

I found my peace within me.

Do you have the courage to find your peace?
