 <\/p>\n

What would you do if you had no fear? Ride a motorcycle? Speak in public? Trust yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve always heard you should do one thing a day that scares you. I do this most days.<\/p>\n

I developed a fear of driving and meeting other cars after a particularly traumatic car accident. I am happy to say I am still out there, driving slowly, praying, breathing deep. Being able to calmly drive anywhere equals independence<\/strong> to me<\/strong>, so I will not give up or live in a spirit of fear.<\/p>\n

Fear is a part of life.<\/strong> It is when that fear prevents you from functioning normally, that problems start to manifest.<\/p>\n

We can all move beyond fear. It takes time, it takes effort, but it’s worth the wait.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me.”<\/p>\n

” Fearlessness is the gateway to success. One should therefore shun all kinds of fear. \u201d<\/p>\n
