Run To Fear

In today's anxiety-saturated world -  Most people don't like feeling fear especially around relationships, job, health etc and attempt  to start consciously choosing to ignore fear, to talk yourself out of it

 

When you encounter a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable/insecure/scared/uncertain and instead of heading for the metaphorical exit door, you stay strong and do the thing you know you should do. First, you realize that the fear was mostly a hallucination. And second, you get some kind of an unexpected reward for your bravery. I've seen it time and time again. It's a law of life I guess.

 

So run to fear. Start small. Slow and steady wins the race: your life will expand or contract in direct relationship to your willingness to walk directly towards the things that you fear. Moving towards fear in your daily life means doing that which you hate/detest/fear/loathe/don't want to do, and doing that thing first, before all else.

 

Do your fears and you play big. Run from them and you shrink from greatness.

 

The objective of this post was to highlight how to use fear to your advantage and benefits of being scared – let me know what you think
