We Must Move Beyond Our Fear

"For a very long, time fear has controlled me. Fear has paralyzed me. Fear has stopped me from living the life of my dreams. This week I have come to recognize the fear within me, and I have finally begun the process of facing it. I believe by facing my fears, rather than react to them, will help me take the next step forward.

When you get right down to it, fear is at the heart of the issues, that have kept me stuck in a place of fear.  After all, fear limit our lives. Fear stops us from standing up for what we believe in. Fear makes us give up on our dreams. Fear makes us stay with what is comfortable. Fear makes us procrastinate. Fear magnifies our failures. Fear makes us avoid success. Fear makes us cover our tracks. Fear makes us blame other people. Fear makes us deny that we made a mistake. Fear prevents us from doing things that would be great for us.

If we are to move beyond our fears and keep charging ahead, we must first understand that failure is an opportunity to find out what’s necessary to succeed. We must see our failures as a starting point and not an end. We must neutralize our fear and push forward. Remember this, keeping your fears a secret will only magnify them and allow them to continue to grow. But, when you speak them aloud, you then hold the key to take the sting out of fear."
