I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Fear comes in many forms and in many guises.
Sometimes it is pressing and demanding, more often it is so subtle that we do not recognize it as fear, even as it shapes our thoughts and actions. To evolve spiritually it is vital that we recognize, confront and overcome our fears. My first day with the kids exceeded my worst nightmares. It took them about 15 minutes to realize that I was afraid of them, and then they turned on me. It went downhill from there.
