FEAR

Imagine your life without fear?  It seems there are millions of people living with some kind of fear and I am one of them. I have started to really look at my fears and I've discovered that many of them come from what I've read or heard when reading the papers or watching the news and from my parents or my friends however most of them have come from other people's experiences!  Don't I want to have my own experience?

FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real.

You may have heard the saying, 'knowledge is power' and I believe it is! I believe many of us fear things that we simply don't understand.  If I look within, if I really look within I can begin to discover where these belief systems came from and then I can usually pick them apart and start resolving the fears. Many of us are not really afraid of the actual outcome of following through on what we fear, but rather of the perceived outcome. Many of us never try something because we are afraid of what might happen or what people might think. I say, start thinking of what you might be missing out on!


Unless you are a professional things like jumping between high rises, rollerblading on a highway or walking into a tiger pen at the zoo are healthy fears that keep you out of harms way however, how about the other things? How about the fear of failure, or the fear of success or the fear of rejection? Are these healthy fears? Are these keeping you out of harms way or keeping you from living your life to the fullest? Are we living at our highest potential?


I've received some private e-mails from people afraid of joining this blog, afraid of sharing, not knowing what to share, afraid of not reaching their goals and afraid of what others may think. Is this helping you move forward? Is fear assisting you in setting goals reaching for them or achieving them? Take some time for you. Look within and begin to discover what your fears really are and if those fears are serving you in positive or helpful ways. What can you take a closer look at today?

For those of you who have chosen to share your goals and or help others with theirs I thank you on behalf of all of us reading today. If you are still contemplating  perhaps take a baby step, use a non descriptive photo and alias name to join us and participate until maybe one day you will tell us who you are and we can congratulate you on your incredible courage and growth :)
