Fear

Hi everyone. I’m Sherry Douglas with Heart-Song. Do you allow fear to be your
decision-maker? We all have fears and some of them are present to keep us
safe and alert. Those we need to listen to. But there are other fears that we can
allow to paralyze us so we end up not taking next steps that can move us closer
to what we truly desire in life. These are the kind of fears that later become
regrets. I doubt we can live a life with absolutely no regrets, but I think we can
live a life in which we minimize them and even turn them around. We can ask
ourselves some questions to draw us to the root of the fear so it can be
addressed head on. Or, we can give permission to a trusted individual to ask
probing questions if they pick up that fear is standing in our way. Many of us view
fear as weakness. It’s not. We can turn it into a catalyst to take one small step,
and then another and another. Many years ago, Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Do one
thing every day that scares you.” Take a minute to reflect on this. What’s your
“one thing” today?
Live the way you want to be remembered.
