What do you fear? How does fear limit you? Does fear stop you from being all you can be or moving on with your life and business? Fear wears many "masks” - the fear of failing, fear of success, fear of rejection, fear of intimacy, fear of emotional pain, fear of being alone/abandoned, fear of the unknown. Fear can paralyze us, and make us doubt our abilities, even our worthiness. It can stop us from asking for what we want and even realizing what we truly value, need, and want in our lives.
False Evidence Appearing Real – Forget Everything and Run – Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway – What is Fear? A well-known quote might be helpful to remember when facing fear, "Fear knocked at the door, Faith answered, and no one was there."
FEAR
Fear doesn't live here anymore
Fear is gone, moved away or simply disappeared
I don't remember when fear first arrived
Fear it seems has always been
I forgot just why it came
Although I'm sure fear was invited
Maybe I was curious or just lonely
Something is better than nothing
Or so I believed
As time elapsed fear just became part of me
Comfortable because it was familiar
Funny how fear can become a comfort
Because I believed fear was a part of me
I never doubted fear
Fear simply was
I am older and wiser now
As I matured I began to question fear
"Why are you here?" I asked
"Why does fear exist?"
"Because I love you," fear said
"To protect you," fear replied
Fear is a lie
Like all lies I wanted to believe fear
I wanted Love - I wanted protection
Mostly, I wanted Not to be alone
Fear became my companion, my teacher & guide
Fear & I went everywhere together
Fear never failed me
I could always count on fear
But...fear could not make me happy
I want to be happy
So I had to make a choice
Fear doesn't live here anymore!
