Fear, it's something we've all experienced. It makes our palms sweat, our knees shake and our words harddd to-to-to come byyyy. Sometimes, it even causes us to put on our best Macaulay Culkin AHHHH face. Many of us cling to certain fears our entire life because it's part of who we are. We assume that we cannot change it because we feel we have little control. The beautiful thing about fear though, is that it can easily be overcome, and it's actually really fun!
When we think about things that scare us, it's usually because we assume the WTWTCH (what's the worst that can happen) senario. Say you're afraid of public speaking and you're standing on stage. Imagine that the worst thing that could happen is that everyone laughs at you. So what, who cares? Some people spend their entire lives trying to get people to laugh at them. Life goes on!
Fear is nothing but an obstacle created by your own imagination. Don't let it keep you from getting what you want.
Make a list of things (today!!) that scare the living shit out of you (or at least make you a little nervous) and over the course of the next few months, figure out how to face every single one of them head on. What could be more exciting then the rush of fear followed by the overwhelming feeling of accomplishment and relief? After all, "life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all."
