I’ve always known of fear as a negative thing – something I don’t want to feel, but of course I can’t prevent that from happening. I’m scared of a lot of things, but next time I want to consider not what it is i’m afraid of but instead – why?

Why am I afraid?

And if I think like this then fear won’t be such a bad thing. Fear can be good, because it can be seen as an indicator – telling us the things we should do. To be honest, we wouldn’t fear something unless it held significance, otherwise we would be indifferent to it.

“That’s why we feel so much Resistance. If it meant nothing to us, there’d be no Resistance” – War of Art by Steven Pressfield

So next time, don’t run away from it, instead learn from it.
