Fear is a funny thing. Most of the time we don’t even realize what is keeping us from our dreams or more joy in our life is fear.
.
Whether it is fear of failure, the fear of not being accepted, or the fear that we won’t be able to handle the success we crave, it can stop us from moving forward and keep us from our dreams. When we face our fears, we can begin to grow into the person we are created to be, own up to responsibility and take the power in our life.
.
Often when we face our fears we can step into that new job and believe that we are worth a higher pay scale, or the creative side of ourselves that we have been putting aside. It helps us become more confident, which affects our attitude, and the choices we make.
.
This confidence will overflow into our earning potential, our happiness in job and relationships, and the overall quality and productivity of our lives.
.
I love the quote “faith and fear cannot reside in the same place.” I don’t know who said it, but I believe it’s true. When we are walking in faith, believing that our God will take care of us, that He is our strength even when we aren’t sure of what’s ahead, then we don’t have room for fear. It is the faith that fills our heart and mind, and that keeps the fear out. We can move past the fear!

Is something holding you back? Could it be fear? Can you name it?
