NO FEAR

Unfortunately, through life, many of us have learned levels of fear that we shouldn’t have had to. Fear should be a place of protection, working along side of common sense.

Fear can come from violence, threat of abuse, or even the natural unnatural, death. While all of these things to most deserve that level of fear. But what happens when that level of fear begins to consume life? You lose.

You were scared to ask that young lady to the prom. She went with the guy that asked.

Your boss is getting promoted. He tells you first. You’re more than qualified for the job and that’s why he told you first. You congratulate him but don’t ask about the opening position. Your coworker who is always late among other things throws his hat in the ring for the job. Now you’re working for someone who knows a lot less than you.

Why? Because of fear. Maybe the fear of being told no and passed over. Maybe. It could be the fear of rejection. That’s healthy and normal right?

But where does that get you? No where that you’re trying to be.

We have to respect fear but to also keep it in it’s place.

And let’s not confuse the scared version of fear with the fear that comes with common sense.

It’s time to advance life. The world is still turning. It’s time to catch up.
