Ashlee Barton and I discuss fear and how it stands in the way of having what we want. Ashlee shares her story of how she overcame and continues to overcome so that she reaches and achieves her goals.
Fear pesters us, drives us to not reach, to try, to dream, to have what we want--fear steals from us in that we do not live our lives fully because we are mired down by fear. Its a vicious cycle. Danger is real, fear is not real. Fear is a construct of thoughts that we have strung together from past experiences or the beliefs we hold--whether they are our beliefs or the beliefs passed down to us.
Fear can rob us of having what we want and if we obsessively think about what we fear, we can even create situations that reflect our fear. But we can do something about it. We can live a life free of fear. We have the power to change our lives by becoming aware that what is stopping us is most likely not going to happen and recognize that its only an idea. Ideas are malleable and plastic just as our brains have neuroplasticity.
