We’ve all heard the words,
“Go ahead, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Little did we know just how big an impact those words would have on our lives. They were meant to encourage and empower, but over time became engrained in our minds causing doubt and wondering,
“What more is there to fear?” This has left some stuck with the same self-destructive fears they’ve had since childhood. Fears that now hold them back from success, happiness, peace of mind, and even . . . love.
Fear is a natural survival skill that cannot be eliminated from our psyche. It’s a part of our inner fabric. So then, how do we grow and achieve the greatness life has to offer if our inherent fears keep telling us to stop and be cautious? We live in a world of mass media coverage and social networks that view the world with divisive intentions and opposing beliefs all in an effort to stir fear and build support. Instead of surrendering to and obeying our fears, perhaps it’s time to listen, learn from our fears, and grow.
