Until We Fear No More

" fear of failure is one attitude that will keep you at the same point in your life "

- Byron Pulsifer 

If fear continued to hold onto me then I would of never of done the things I have accomplished. I am not completly free of fear. I don't think we'll ever be free from fear for it's a looming little gray cloud that stops us from accomplishing our goals. We're all victims of fear. 

We fear loving too much. 

We fear hating too strongly. 

We fear disappointment. 

We fear failure. 

We fear. 

I don't think we'll ever be completly free from fear. It has always been there scratching away at the layers I've buried it under but I won't let it take control of me completely every again. If I did then so many things I love would be lost to the void. Fear of the dark or fear of clowns hiding in our backyard are things that keep us on our toes but sometimes you just have to brush it aside and dive right into the unknown. How else are you going to watch IT, or any other horror flick, if you're too afraid? How will you be able to do anything if you're too afraid of the road to get there or even the outcome? 

If I feared the dark, then my demons would surely get me. 

If I feared falling, then I wouldn't trust anyone. 

If I feared fire, then I would be cold once more. 

If I feared the unknown, I would be forever ignorant to what I know now. 

Fear is normal, they say. It's a natural reaction to things that are not normal. So how do we not fear? How do we break out of the mold we have put ourselves into? How do we stop fearing things out of the norm?

We break the sense of normal. We chain fear to the floor. And only then can we be limitless.

Until We Perish, Shads

I dare you to try this recipe for a banana and berry fruit bowl! The food processor I used actually scared me at first. I had never used it  

What you'll need:

• 3 bananas
• 3 types of berries, I used Strawberry, Raspberry, and Blueberry 
• 1 tablespoon milk, I used 2% but it would be better if Vanilla Almond Milk was used  
• 2 teaspoons honey, I used local
• Food Processor, which is what I used but I'm sure a large blender would work as well 
• Optional Toppings: Oats, Chia Seeds, Granola, Additional Fruits

I used 1 banana for every 1 cup of berry I used. So 3 bananas because I used 3 cups of berries.

Plop the bananas and berries into the food processor with the milk and honey then pulse until mixed well. It should be soupy at this point. 

If you would like it thicker, use frozen fruits or add in an ice cube or two.

Serve in a bowl and add prefered toppings.
