Monthly Outlook - October

October is for embracing your darkness, finding your own path, and facing your fears.

The darkness of October calls to you like a deep and haunted forest; the tree branches beckoning to you, urging you close. Despite the eerie darkness and the likelihood of getting lost, you press on.

You have to. It's time.

It's time to grow.

You have to face your fears, face the darkness that lies ahead. You've been taught that fear can keep you safe, but it can also limit you. It can prevent your evolution, your growth. It can take away your potential.

Abandoning fear doesn't lead to recklessness because fear does not tell you something is legitimately dangerous and should be left well enough alone. You don't avoid touching hot coals because you're afraid of getting burned, but rather because you know better. You know it is unwise, and that is different than fearing it.

Facing your fears this month is going to require more than just that. It's time to embrace them. Do not let fear hinder your growth. Face the fear by embracing it's challenge. Don't just go to the party, dress to slay the party. Don't just ask about getting a raise, inform you're work efforts are worthy of it. Don't just send your crush a love poem, ask them out on a date.

Be revealed. Be judged. Be seen. Be proud of your fear, and own it. Don't let it own you. Having fear makes you human. It helps you grow. Grow into all your magnificent glory by conquering your fear.

No matter the fear, whether it seems rational or not, take it seriously. It is there to help you grow. All those little insecurities that seem so pointless, are valid and no less important than greater fears. Each of them have their role to play in your growth. Each of them is a stair of which to climb, step by step, to your life goals.

How can you embrace your fears this month? Start with one, no matter how small, and embrace it as best as you can.

Enter the darkness of October and surprise yourself. Once you take that step into the lingering darkness, you'll find each step becomes a bit easier. You become a bit stronger. The your path becomes a bit clearer. The fear becomes a bit weaker.

Take the reins of your fears and ride them in style. Make those fears work for you. Make them do the grunt work. You are in charge here. You are the master. And you will emerge from October's darkness in magnificent glory.

Slay, you witch. Slay.
