“Do what you fear and fear disappears.” - David Joseph Schwartz
Continuing along with this week's theme, what better way to finish up a Friday than to hear motivational words about conquering fear...
Because it's true! Your fear exists simply because you don't know what is going to happen.
You are afraid of sky diving because you don't know if you'll live through the free fall.
You are scared of failing at a challenging task because you don't know if you really can succeed.
You fear the change of a diet or exercise program because you don't know if you'll be able to handle the challenge. It may be too hard and uncomfortable.
Well, bad news...
That fear will never go away.
It's a natural reaction for most. Like closing your eyes when someone blows in your face!
What you have to do is... acknowledge the fear... then ignore it.
Do what you're afraid of anyway!
Because once you do what you're actually afraid of, what do you usually say afterward??
"That wasn't that bad..."
Right?!
So, do what you fear...
It won't be that bad...
And to all my American readers, enjoy your holiday weekend!

They say that the number one fear of humans is to speak in public and the second is dying. This may or may not be true but how many people do you know who would speak half naked in front of a large audience before they would ever sing in front of that same group. Honestly I was one of those people....scared to death to ever sing in front of people. Well I recently took a singing class and the only reason was to get over the fear.
I have no regrets; I lived...and honestly it wasn't so bad....in fact it was kind of fun and exhilarating and I'm better for it.
Do something you fear and you too will be better for it!
