Feb 21 2012: In my life, fear often stops me from becoming who I want to become. When I let it consume me, I get small and become the exact person I do not want to be. Lately I have realized that fear is something that we procure - I am scared because I expect things to go a certain way, I get anxious because I do not know the outcome of a situation.
I am learning to embrace fear, as someone said above. Fear is a powerful tool, if we use it right. If I look at where my fear is coming from I often discover a lot about myself and why I do things the way I do. Breaking out of the habitual rut of fear that I live in is what is empowering, to me. (:
