I think there is a time for everything. A time to friend fear, and a time to starve it to death, feeding it nothing, not a single thought, emotion, second… not a single biological response. Some fears are annoying and repetitive, and for those ones, I just get mad and starve em to death. And they will die, as long as you don’t feed em

@Sherri – Thanks for letting me guest post on your rockin’ blog!

@Alejandro – Exactly. It is uncomfortable for sure and not something I’d like to experience more than I have to, but it usually brings a message or two.

@Archan – Even though most people may not have the self-awareness to do this all the time, they can work up to it, because once you get serious about working on yourself and friending fear, you start to make progress. Thanks for stopping by, Archan!

Henri:

Your ideas about fear are understandable and valid.

You have the maturity to work through your issues and that’s just great about you.

Your self-awareness enables you to approach fear proactively.

Therefore, you are less likely to let fear overwhelm you and keep you away from doing the things you need to do to get ahead in the world.

I think that is a recipe for your success.
Stay on that course. Best wishes and good luck

Very interesting post. I really think you have very valid points about fear, since it is a natural reaction I don’t think it’s totally a bad thing. It kinda warns us but it also can be a way to challenge yourself.
