F.E.A.R.

It’s interesting to see that what most often holds us back in life to go after the things we truly want is F.E.A.R. Fear of the unknown, fear that we won’t succeed, fear that we will look like a fool, fear that we will succeed and then what? Fear of not being able to handle it, fear of going up and then crash and burn… and so on and so forth. So many of us are afraid to step outside of our comfort zone, even if it holds us back from achieving our dreams.

Rather than trying to eliminate fear, we can learn to embrace it and to see it from a different perspective. Fear is not your enemy. Fear is in most cases nothing more then your brain trying to talk you out of the things you want.

What I've discovered through the years is that it’s generally more about unlearning things then it is about learning, since we're all conditioned from birth. It’s about freeing yourself from the societal conditioning of how (not) to act and to become as free, authentic and unhindered by fear in your day to day actions as much as you can. Free from the fear of what other people may think of you... Confront your fears, free your mind and go after what you truly want in life.

Taking ACTION

It’s about running towards your fears and facing your fears heads on. It’s about being sick and tired of letting your fears control and limit your life. It's about making the decision within yourself to not let this fear within you chain you down any longer and limit the experiences you can have in this life. Taking action everyday will steadily but surely take you from where you are now to where you want to be.

It’s okay to be afraid every now and then; just don’t let it stop you in your efforts to go after what you want in life.
• With that said, don’t expect fear to completely disappear, but expect and KNOW that you can manage and overcome it. Try out new things and do that thing that scares the holy crap out of you but will bring you closer to your goal.
• Think of all that you are missing out on in life because of fear. Perhaps you’re passionate about traveling, but you’re scared out of your wits to go alone.

Furthermore, fear doesn’t just apply to the “big” things in life. It applies to your everyday life as well.
