Embrace your fears, 

What holds us back in life is the invisible architecture of fear. It keeps us in our comfort zone, which are, in truth the least safe place to be. Indeed, the greatest risk in life is taking no risks. But every time we do that which we fear, we take back the power that fear has stolen from us-for on the other side of our fears lives our strength. Every time we step into the discomfort of growth and progress, we become more free. The more fears we walk through, the more power we reclaim. In this way we grow more fearless and powerful, and thus are able to live the lives of our dreams -Robin Sharma

With Bultfontein a few kilometres behind us already I stopped for Dante and Katryn to run and play for a while. They are just the most awesome travel companions ever!!

While they are being free in the field in front of me, I pulled out my journal and try to write about the "fears" that surfaced in the past few weeks. My fears, fears of those who kindly shared them with me and fear in general. I wonder why we have fear. Why do we armour our existence with all sorts of excuses and justifications to avoid our fears? Its as if we build our lives around our fears in order to avoid the very same thing will inevitably happen. Its almost as if we know its going to happen and we try to do all and any precautions for it not to happen but when it happens we feel lighter. We feel inspired and powerful. 

Katryn all of a sudden stands in front of me with a smiling face and wagging tail, they are good to go again. My thoughts on fear slides to the background as I start the bike and realize that today is good day and by choosing to move through my fears I set myself free to experience the abundance of greatness in this beautiful Universe

The road between Bultfontein and Bloemfontein is getting a facelift with stop and go's 3 times. People in cars in the front and the back of us climb out their cars to take photographs and hear about the dogs on the bike and where we intend on going. I wonder why and where did the emphasis moved from the journey to the destination. Its not who we are but who we are becoming.
