The reality of fear
The reality of fear:
You are not scared of the dark- you’re scared of what’s in it.
You are not frightened of heights- you are afraid of wanting to fall.
You’re not afraid to try- you are so scared of failing.
You’re not afraid to love- you are afraid of rejection.
You’re not frightened to let go- you’re worried they are already gone.
You’re not scared to try again- you’re just afraid to get hurt. Again.
Fear is a liar, so face your REAL fear and do it again anyway.
