Fear may be holding you back. It may trap you and convince you to settle for what you already have because asking for anything more would cause problems.
Sometimes fear means you're moving in the right direction. It means following your heart, chasing your goals and living your dreams. It means success is so close you can taste it. It means doing what is best for you.
You should not be embarrassed and nervous because you are in new situations. There's nothing wrong with being wrong, and for trying. You should not feel as if you are destined to stay in one place because it is too difficult for you to take the next step, the step forward.
You should be proud of yourself for stepping out of your comfort zone. You should be proud of yourself for choosing the right path, even if it's a difficult one, over the easiest one. You should be proud of yourself for taking a risk.
And that's right, overcome your fear. Don't settle for a mediocre life. Find something bigger.
Remember that it is impossible to live without fear. It is impossible to remain calm, cool and collected all the time. But as long as you choose the paths that excite you, as long as you take the journeys that you know will bring you happiness, you have to push your fear aside. Push your doubts aside. Push your reluctance aside.
Do not delay, do not be afraid of what awaits you around the bend. Beat it and you'll soon be looking forward to tomorrow. You will chase your dreams, even though it will be scary at times.
When your life is too comfortable, it could mean you're in just the right place. Or it could mean it's time to explore new limitless possibilities. Remember that sometimes fear is good. Sometimes that means you're headed in the right direction. It means you are passionate about what you do. It means that what you do matters.
Fear is something we learn to live with; whether it is fear of conversation, fear of choice, fear of injury or fear of consequences. It's there and it's always so very real.
Don't live in his shadow, but look him straight in the eye, even if you are afraid to confront him. Do it anyway. The fears you don't face become your limits.
You might never know and understand exactly what you are capable of if you didn't live in fear.
When things get tough, remember who you are. You are worthy and capable, and the more you face your fears, the more you will learn about yourself.
In the end, you will learn that fear will not stop you from living the life you want. So, look him in the eye and face him and live your best life!
