This was so close to where I am right now. Knowing that our ability to manifest our destiny - or work for change in our lives means that we must embrace change. That there is a place within toward which we are growing. Growth requires change. Our emotional response to climbing onto a step, becoming comfortable with that space and then being nudged (or kicked) to move on - for me this is where fear and hope come in - each step is the first step of The Fool in Tarot and requires the faith of a child and the steadfastness of all previous experience. The comfort of the current known situtation is the most prevalent quality of our western society - a belief that change can be stopped - that what you see today is how it will always be - a denial of change - fear. Regardless of campaign slogans - Change of direction is a source of great fear. Fear is a great manifestor and attractor - so truly, we personally and as a country have nothing to fear but fear itself.
History, circumspect thought, faith, patience and solid goals are the best quellers of fear - do not forget to enjoy the journey for it is truly amazing.
