CHICKENING

     ~ self-informed motivation for actions

You have heard some version of the slang: Chickening-Out. It means to lose courage, to rescind one’s word, to fail a promise because fear is greater than sentiment. Each culture has some similar term. It becomes a badge of non-honor.

If we were motivated by such things, allowing the negative aspect of any given situation to spur our actions, what do we become but an extreme reactionary without a firm bit of ground to stand upon? We must rise and act because we are in touch with our core and decide to do the valiant and helpful thing.

When you feel your self weakening under peer pressure, how do you handle it? Do you push back, or do you check in with your center and speak to your own fears? Have there been times when verbal threats have caused you to act where otherwise you would not? Have you been pushed into risky and un-helpful behaviors due to the same?

Mostly, you know why you act. We cannot truly be fearless, but we can confront fear and move forward anyway. If you find your self Chickening, do a search, and when you act, either by forward motion or withdrawal, act with Truth and self-knowing.

Blessed Be This Day
