"Toward the Truest of Destinations... No fear"

I'll admit the first thing that comes to mind when I think of "No Fear" is the decals that were (and still are to extent) very popular as an adornment for the back glass of the trucks of guys back home. 

 

But it's so much more. It's not just a motto or a slogan. It should be a way of life. Now you might wonder why this blog now. If you haven't figured it out by now a big motivational tool for me is music. The song "No Fear" by Terri Clark is one that I probably had heard before but yesterday on my walk it really hit home. It wasn't really the actual lyrics, but more like the spirit behind the song. The fact that if we can move beyond our fear, we sometimes find what we've been looking for all along. 

I've always let fear hold me back. I'm the kind of person that runs all kinds of scenarios through my head about what might go wrong. As I'm working on myself this is a big part of what I'm trying to improve. I want to be able to live by the slogan "No FEAR!" Now I've thought about tattoos, but I'm a chicken and will probably never get one. This would be a great one to get though. 

 

I'm afraid that I won't be able to stick with this. I'm on day 19 which is the longest I've ever maintained a daily exercise program. I'm afraid that if I hit a roadblock I won't be able to work through it. I'm afraid of so much, but with the support of my SP friends, my husband, my friends, and family I know I can work through it. 

What are your fears? How do you work through them? 

As the song says I'm running "Towards the truest of destinations... No fear." 

"No Fear" by Terri Clark 
I want a road stretching out before me 
I want a radio in my ear 
I want a full tank of absolution 
No fear 
I want a rainstorm to pull me over 
Then a sky that begins to clear 
Towards the truest of destinations 
No fear 

I used to hit every wall there was 
I used to run away from love 
All I ever wanted was right here 
But I had to reach way down inside 
I had to have faith I'd find 
No fear 

I want the world to just keep on turning 
I want the dawn in my rear view mirror 
I want to hear my own voice singing 
No fear 
And when I need two arms around me 
And theres no one near 
When I'm alone let the only sound be 
No fear 

I used to hit every wall there was 
I used to run away from love 
All I ever wanted was right here 
But I had to reach way down inside 
I had to have faith I'd find 
No fear 

I want peace, Love and Understanding 
A stogie and an ice-cold beer 
Don't want to live afraid of dying 
I used to hit every wall there was 
I used to run away from love 
All I ever wanted was right here 
But I had to reach way down inside 
I used to stay up all night long 
Wondering what I was doing wrong 
All I ever needed was right here 
But I had to reach way down inside 
I had to have faith I'd find 
No fear
