We all know what it's like to feel scared, right? And a lot of us like that feeling - it's why we enjoy movies that make us jump and check under our beds before we go to sleep. It's why we fork over $20 and wait in line for an hour just to be chased by zombies and chainsaw-wielding psychopaths.

But do you ever stop to think about how often you feel scared "in real life?"

What do you want to do, but don't, because you're scared of what someone might think or say?

What do you hold yourself back from because you're scared of failing? Or, you're scared of actually succeeding?

Even if we believe we act courageously, there are plenty of things in life where I think many of us allow fear to run the show. And it's time we faced our fears, just like Nancy did with Freddy back on Elm Street, and show them who's boss (FYI it's you, not Tony Danza).
