When Fear is Louder than Truth?

We all say we want to live in alignment, be more authentic, and stand in our truth. But when that truth whispers something inconvenient, disruptive, or vulnerable, we often turn away.

We numb. We scroll. We overwork. We help others instead of helping ourselves. We bury.

Facing Fear is a profound spiritual practice. It isn’t just breathwork and stillness—it’s looking fear in the eye and saying, “I see you. And I’m not letting you lead today.” 

It’s standing in front of the mirror and telling the truth about what we see. And let’s be honest—this kind of practice is not for the faint of heart.

It takes courage to face the parts we’d rather avoid. 

To name our avoidance. 

To stop pretending we “just don’t have time.” 

To admit we’re scared.

Here’s the deeper truth I keep coming back to: 

Fear is the voice of the ego mind—the part of us that wants to stay safe, small, and in control. 

Truth, on the other hand, belongs to the higher self. 

It has no judgment. It’s not scared. It doesn’t push or pull—it simply is. 

Neutral. Clear. Steady.

And yet, we often let fear drown it out.

Lately, there’s one truth I’ve been avoiding—one that’s been whispering to me for far too long. It’s my book. It’s ready to be born. It’s been waiting patiently for me to step up and share it with the world. But every day, I let myself get distracted, telling myself that other things are more urgent, easier, or safer. And yes, I convince myself that I’m just too busy. But honestly, that’s a lie. The truth is much harder to face—I’m scared. Scared of sharing too much or not enough. Scared it won’t matter, or that it will.

But here's what I'm learning:

The more we avoid our truth, the more we abandon ourselves.

And no amount of outer success or spiritual “practice” can fill that space.

So today I ask you—and I ask myself:

✨ Is your fear louder than your truth? 

✨ What truth are you pretending not to know? 

✨ What one brave step could you take toward it today?

Let’s not betray ourselves by postponing what matters most. We owe it to ourselves and the world to stand in our truth, even when it's hard.

With love,
