When you are dealing with an unresolved issue of any kind, remember that if you don t put it behind you, it will always be in front of you . And if it is always in front of you, it s blocking your way. Fear is sneaky. It hides in the psyche cloaked in worry and can manifest in our lives in a varied guise. First of all recognize that we all pack around a handful of some kind of fear.
Fear is a natural human response.
Once confronted, you may be surprised at how quickly you can diffuse your fear, or help someone else diffuse their fear, with simple rationale. I m afraid I can t do this. I m afraid no one will like me. I m afraid that people will think I m stupid. You ll find something else to do.
