Chapter 1: The Power of Fearlessness

Fearlessness has become my guiding principle for 2023. What will you choose as your word this year? Contrary to the cliché "new year, new me," I believe each day offers a fresh opportunity to begin again.

Fearlessness embodies the absence of fear. There was a time when I allowed fear to dominate my life—fear of speaking out, fear of saying something inappropriate, or fear of causing an emotional upheaval. I often found myself in a constant state of anxiety, worried about how my actions could lead to negative outcomes.

For years, I made a conscious decision to live this way, particularly because I felt responsible for my children amidst the turmoil. This led to some serious self-reflection. Where did I falter? It was time for me to take control of my emotions and fears. I have reached a turning point, and I can finally set aside my running shoes.

The most profound lessons often arise during times of desperation. Confronting your deepest fears until they no longer intimidate you is akin to scaling a great mountain and reaching its summit. Once you achieve that, a calm and warm sensation envelops you, illuminating your existence with a newfound clarity. You realize that nothing can drag you back into despair.

Is there a greater triumph than this?

Reflecting on the past, I acknowledge that I lived in fear longer than necessary. Yet, when I revisit those years, I am astonished by how distant they feel—like waking from an extended period of rest.

Why do I revisit those memories? I can’t quite articulate it. The memories of the greenish-gold walls, which felt like an enchanted forest, and the altar adorned with a flickering lavender candle remain vivid in my mind. The lingering scent of nag champa still resonates within me.

Memory is a wondrous thing; it allows us to revisit any moment in time. If we can navigate back to the present easily, we can embrace the beauty of daydreaming.

Understanding that fear is a transient state is key to becoming fearless. Like all emotions, it ebbs and flows, and we hold the reins. Our response to these feelings is one of the few things we can control.

In truth, I’ve embraced fearlessness for some time now. As this new year unfolds, I feel compelled to acknowledge my growth and celebrate the woman I’ve evolved beyond.

Now, I invite you to reflect: What is your guiding word for 2023?
