Wrestling Fear Head On: From Hiding to Thriving

Deflection often arises from a fear of facing uncomfortable situations, such as feelings of shame, embarrassment, or failure. As a pro wrestler, I’ve found myself avoiding confrontations, especially after a performance where things didn’t go as planned. I wanted to hide, but a conversation with a friend changed my perspective. She encouraged me not to dwell but to face the situation head-on with a plan. This shift in mindset helped me overcome my fear and move forward with confidence. The next time you feel the urge to deflect, take a moment to confront the discomfort, prepare for what could go wrong, and move forward with a solid plan. Don’t let fear hold you back—embrace it, face it, and grow stronger from it.

Love and Devotion: True Nature of Commitment

True commitment is not defined by our actions but by the motivations driving them. At its core, commitment reveals who we are truly devoted to—ourselves or others, including God. Love is not about what we do; it’s about why we do it. Genuine love requires selflessness, often demanding sacrifices that prioritize what is truly best for someone else, even when it challenges our desires.

Jesus’ teachings remind us that self-serving actions, even those done in His name, fail to reflect true commitment. Love confronts selfishness, not for our benefit, but for the good of others. Real love and commitment go beyond unconditional support for someone’s wants; they are grounded in selflessness, a dedication to truth, and a willingness to act in others’ best interests. When we grasp this, it transforms how we understand love, making commitment not about seeking love, but about embodying it.
