#24 Overcoming Fear of Commitment

from Drop In With Dan Hosted by Dan Ballard

The fear of commitment is a shadow that looms over meaningful relationships, decisions and ultimately: Our successes in life long-term. This shadow strikes hardest when we are closer to fulfilling the true yearning inside our hearts. In fact the greater the resistance, the higher likelihood that it will fulfil your needs, purpose & growth. I've learnt in my relationship: The harder it strikes, the more it truly meets your needs, and that person is deeply in love with you. Here's what you need to know... (It’s all in this episode): The closer we come to breakthrough. To fulfilling our deepest yearnings within. The harder the shadow will strike you. It grips, holds, pulls, pushes and does anything it can subtlety; in an attempt to keep you back. Back from experiencing again what hurt you, what let you down and failed you before. But it also doesn’t allow meaningful relationships to flourish, it limits your success and impact on others. The shadow is pain, evidence and energy of something anchored in the past, preventing a future opening of greater fulfilment & prosperity. I’ve moved through the full spectrum of grief, shame and everything in-between with this shadow. I still work with this fickle bastard to this day. But the best part is you can overcome it, and when you do life opens up in all domains. You can’t skip the process, what is repressed will return. New level, new devil. The good news is you can overcome this to thrive.
