Good Morning,

Fear can be extremely debilitating.  If we let it control our lives, it can keep us from doing all of the things we are capable of doing as well as those we wish we could do.

 The message, to me, is that we need to face our fears head on rather than wringing our hands and telling ourselves not to be fearful or hiding in the corner hoping they will go away.

• If you are afraid of swimming, take lessons and go out of your way to swim until it becomes second nature.
• If you are afraid of public speaking, put yourself in a situation  where you are forced to stand up and express yourself, maybe in a small intimate group and slowly build up to large groups you don't even know.
• If you want to go back to school but are afraid of failure, get bold and enroll, go to class and learn.

What are you afraid to do?  Speak it and write it down.  Know what you need to do and, then, "Just Do It."  Do it over and over until it becomes second nature.

We all need to know our limitations but let's not  let "fear of limitations" hold us back.  Our abilities are far less limited than our fears can make us think they are.  Take action and you will be amazed.
