Fear

Fear is fundamentally entrenched in all of our souls.
Fear of the unknown,
Of uncertainty.

Fear is not intrinsically bad,
It is simply a "Caution Ahead" sign,
Proceed with caution using knowledge, wisdom, and faith.

Knowledge is what we know,
Wisdom is making good decisions with what we know,
Faith is acting on what we can't know for sure.

With these three traits, we can see fear for what it is:
A road sign on the path to success.
The question becomes,
Will you stop, switch lanes, or drive on through?
