Spread the love
The power over you which is inherent in that which you fear is limited to the extent of the power you relinquish to it

It takes a special kind of courage to confront our fears, recognizing that we might lose the battle – this time – but we will keep on trying again and again until we win!

What do you consider some of your biggest fears? Is it Public Speaking? Is it getting yourself out there? Is it being laughed at when you try and fail miserably? Is it ‘this?’ Or is it ‘that?’

Not that it matters what exactly you fear; everything that you fear can be confronted and overcome. The best way to overcome your fear is to do the thing that you fear! In doing so, you give yourself the opportunity to actually overcome it, because you cannot OVERCOME until you ATTEMPT!

That which you fear only has power over you to the extent of the power that you have relinquished to it. When you decide to take back that power, you will find that you are on your way towards overcoming that fear.

O. N. Rowe

Yes, it takes a special kind of courage to attempt to do something you feared doing in the first place – even where others consider it easy – because it means you recognize that by doing it you are taking steps to confront your fear.
