Fears are always there, under the surface, whether we acknowledge them or not. We all face our own share of rational and irrational fears. Rational fear is a fear of something that presents a very real danger. Irrational fear, the self-created kind made up from assumptions we have about an imaginary future, hold us back from living the life we would love to live.
Would you choose to let the irrational fears chase you around, dictating your outcomes, sabotaging your life? Or are you okay with feeling the initial discomfort of acknowledging the fear, knowing you have the power to look it in the face and say, “I’m ready to conquer you!”
Contrary to what it might feel like, fears exist to highlight your unmet potential. They should be seen as an ally to be worked with, not an enemy to run from. If we have the courage to face them honestly, openly and willingly, fears can show us where our true potential lies.
