When people ask me if I am scared lately I tell them, with absolute truth & conviction, that I am not scared anymore, I have worked though the fear & anxiety of it all & I am just ready & excited for the journey ahead.
I am realistic though, I know I will get scared, again, but when I am confronted by it this time, my response will be…Fear, you work for me now.

There are so many brilliant quotes & pearls of wisdom on fear & courage; here are some that have inspired me & strengthened my conviction. The first one is by my favourite poet, E. E. Cummings:
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose
Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it. ~ Bill Cosby
If you need to make a change and fear is holding you back, ask yourself these 3 questions:
1. What is the best outcome that can happen?
2. What is the worst outcome that can possibly happen?
3. What is the result of remaining the same?
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the brave. ~ Helen Keller.
Fear is only as deep as the mind allows ~ Japanese proverb.
