Fearless

 

I deemed it appropriate for Halloween to write about fear. I'm not referring to the monster costumes or spider decorations but your personal monsters. Fear holds so many people back from accomplishing things they are more than capable of pursuing. We all have our own personal fears that stunt our growth. Some of us fear the unknown, fear rejection, fear change, fear what others think or fear failure. I read somewhere that your desire for success has to be greater than your fear.

Think of all the people in history that accomplished so much. They had to get past their personal fear that something may not work and push forward. What if Marilyn Monroe would have let her fear stop her from making a name for herself? What if Alexander Graham Bell would have been too afraid to present his idea of the telephone to the public?

Do not let your fears hold you back from getting everything you can out of life. You do not want to look back and wish you would have tried something but was too afraid to. You may not succeed but you will never know until you try. Go out there and find your next adventure.
