“Fear stunts your soul and limits the amount of road needed to travel to reach the Tree Of Life, and to know the Great Spirit. Fear is non-beneficial and leads to an unbalanced mind body and spirit. To banish fear you must know your path and trust yourself – and the world around you. With trust comes confidence. Self-confidence banishes fear.”  – Kondiaronk, Huron.

– This ethic of the Red Road has special meaning for me, fear lead me to unbalanced life and nearly destroyed my spirit. It is perhaps the greatest obstacle to a spiritual life, and a life of meaning and purpose. It keeps love away, and can destroy it, it nearly enslaved me and kept me from a life I could love.

I am learning to know my path and trust myself and my decisions, instincts and judgments. Standing in my truth is the greatest antidote to fear. As I trust myself, I grow more confident, more certain, and self-confidence melts fear, like the sun on a block of ice. For me, I know of no greater obstacle to a meaningful life than fear.

Each day, I give thanks for the morning light, I remind myself that I am good, I am searching for the right path of life, I can trust myself to see the world around me clearly and my confidence grows daily, even as my fear diminishes and recedes. Fear is a space to cross, a geography, I am resolved to never again surrender to it.
