Something Worse ThanĀ  Fear

Fear can be paralyzing.  It can stop us in our track.  It can be on of the most powerful things to keep us from doing something.  There are some fears that are actually good, such as our primal fight or flight reactions to real danger or something that can kill us.

But outside of that, most fears are made up in own minds and can hold us prisoners.  

There is something, however that is worse than fear and that is missing an opportunity or chance to reach your true potential because of it.  How many people have never stepped out of their comfort zone or took the chance on a great opportunity because of fear.  You've probably had a moment in your life where you had an opportunity that came to you that your gut said "Go for it," but then your brain started working it's fear, what if scenarios, and giving you all the reasons not to move forward - so you didn't - and you kick yourself every time you think about it.  And that leads to guilt and other feelings that further manipulate and make our success path harder.

What, if for just one time, you took the chance?  You threw off the fear and just took the opportunity (whatever it is)?  What could happen?  Most importantly, what is the real worst case that could happen?  First, you could fail...so, what failure happens all the time and it won't stop you from anything in the long run.  Second, your worst case scenario could happen (the percentages say it won't), but even if it did, how bad is it really?  Remove the emotion that fear creates and use your logic to see through it.

Missed opportunities are worse than fear and the sad thing is that most people miss a lot of great opportunities in their lives because they let fear win.  Don't be one of these people.  Take the opportunity and see where it goes because many times a failed opportunity ultimately leads to a great blessing.
