“I couldn’t possibly do that, what would people think?” “What happens if I step out in faith and things don’t work out the way I expect?” “I’m not happy in this relationship but if I leave, I may end up being on my own forever.” “Whenever I share an opinion I feel nervous and judged.” What do all these scenarios have in common? A little word ‘Fear’. Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. In other words, when we’re afraid our imagination can trick us into believing things that are not true. We ask “What if....?” rather than “Why not....?” and “Can I....?” rather than saying “I can....”
Feeling fear is part of being human. Whenever you step out of your comfort zone to try something new, you will probably feel some anxiety and uncertainty. However, to experience success, you need to learn how to manage the fearful feelings in order to achieve your goals. Don’t let fear stop you from being all you can be and achieving all that you would like to achieve. As Joyce Meyer would say “Do it Afraid!”
