Your Secret Weapon for Overcoming FEAR.

You don’t fear other people’s opinions of you… you fear your opinion of yourself!

Firstly, I don’t write this as someone who claims to be fearless. This could be a love letter to myself. Much of it is derived from years of pondering my own fears and limitations. I spoke the above line to a friend and thought it would be fun to write about and dissect. So that’s what we’re doing.

Hopefully, some food for thought and a little inspiration for you.

If you think about it, society conditions us to believe we fear other people’s opinions more than our own.

We’re constantly reminded about “The fear of what others may think,” so we embody it.

As a consequence, we don’t act or chase the life we want…

We choose NOT to do things we know we want to do because we allow fear to get in the way.

Instead of focusing on how we view ourselves (the real issue), we focus on other options (the distraction), causing far more harm in the long run.

Fear is a real bastard…

Most of us are somewhat shy. At least in a few areas. Even the loudest person in the room or the person who ALWAYS has to speak in a meeting, if you pull back the layers, you’ll likely find insecurity driving their behaviour.
