What You Resist Might Be Trying to Help

There’s an old proverb:

A man is being chased by his fear.

He runs through a field. It keeps pace.
He climbs a mountain. It climbs too.
He dives into a cave. It follows, unblinking.

Eventually, he reaches a cliff. No more running.
Just two options:
Jump.
Or turn and face it.

He turns.

And something unexpected happens.
The fear stops.

It shifts.

It says, “I’m here because this moment matters. Because what’s next is bigger than you. Because your choices, your focus, your courage–they matter here.”
Then it steps behind him.
And asks,
“How can I help?”

What if confronting your fear today had the potential to transform it into a helpful force?
What would you do differently?
