Fear is a partner to Courage

Fear is a partner to Courage. The one does not exist without the other. 

Fear is one of our greatest teachers when we know how to work with it. When we bring it close and listen to its voice (without believing it as fact). When we listen and honor it to be sharing with us what could happen, we can also know that it it is not a prediction of what will happen. 

Fear is like the warning road signs. It is giving us information of what may be going on, but we can look around us and see if it is actually happening or not. Just because there is a sign that says rocks falling, doesn’t mean there are actual rocks. The challenge is to not let fear be the decision maker in us. If we drive according to the road signs we would never go anywhere. Fear is a companion that needs love and support. Fear is not fact and fear ia not the one to be in control. That’s your job not fears. 

Where do you need to release fear from the obligation to make decisions for you?
