Fear can cause us to become paralyzed in situations that we would otherwise have all the strength needed to respond correctly. I have had some irrational fear in my life that has held me back from being the man whom I would like to be. When I step outside of myself and look at the situation it seems silly to let such a small thing hold me back yet for many years this has been a piece of my reality. However recently I have been able to utilize a couple tools in my morning that have been very powerful in enabling me to have a different response. Fear is not meant to be our master.
