Five Truths About Fear

1. The fear will never go away as long as I continue to grow.

2. The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out… and do it .

3. The only way to feel better about myself is to go out… and do it.

4. Not only am I going to experience fear whenever I’m on unfamiliar territory, but so is everyone else.

5. Pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the underlying fear that comes from a feeling of helplessness.


If everybody feels fear when approaching
something new in life,
yet so many are out there “doing it”
despite the fear,
then we must conclude that
Fear is not the problem.
