“Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it.”
–Judy Blume
Let’s chat about facing fear today…
Here’s the thing. Fear is going to show up in all of our lives, in one way or the other. At some point, we’re all going to face scary circumstances, or take huge risks that are scary. Can you relate?
But, here’s my question to you: ๐๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฅ๐ช๐ด๐ค๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ต๐ณ๐บ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ธ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด?! โฃ
At the end of the day, life is truly all about taking chances, trying new things, having fun, making mistakes and learning from it. Facing the fear.

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
–Eleanor Roosevelt
“Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.”
–Thich Nhat Hanh
