Fear Shows You What Matters Most

So, The Question Is: What matters most to you?

I read something today that resonates with me deeply. The reading states:

“Do not be afraid of your fears; they are simply there to show you what matters most to you.”

After reading this, my mind went to three places, which is what this piece will cover in detail:

• Tackling Fear — Breaking It Down
• Question Your Fear, Which = What Matters Most
• Don’t Let Fear Destroy Your Peace of Mind

Tackle Fear By Breaking It Down

One of the best ways to tackle fear is to question the fear and break it down to its core to understand its origin better. But we usually don’t question our fear. Instead, we let our fears fester.

For example, you might have a fear of losing your job. Instead of living with the fear daily and letting your anxiety evolve uncontrollably, you should ask yourself the following questions:

• Do I have an emergency fund with 3–12 months of expenses saved in the case of job loss?
• Do I have the marketable skills to acquire another job within a reasonable timeframe?
• What is my plan B if this job goes to sh*t?
