Fearlessness

This afternoon while watching the little guy on his skateboard I realised we often lose our sense of fearlessness the older we get. My little boy had no trouble hopping on and off his skateboard. He didn’t care when he fell off. In fact, he expressed his achievement every time he took a tumble. Ok, he’s not really going anywhere yet on his skateboard, so there’s little danger. I do need to buy him some safety gear. But he was not scared to try.

When was the last time you felt scared to do something? Did you still do this new thing, or even something you’ve done before? Have you been able to embrace a sense of fearlessness in your own life? Spend some time writing in your journal about how it feels to be fearless. Do you think it’s healthy to be fearless? What will you never be afraid to do? Make a list of things you are too scared to face. Write about doing these things without fear. Examine what fearlessness means to you.

I hope you enjoy this journal writing prompt. Please leave any comments in the section below.
