I finally heard myself say it, Im afraid of being afraid! I finally realized that I had a tremendous fear of being vulnerable. Honest feelings scared me. Everyone feels afraid; it is a part, even an affirmation of being human. Fear can be a healthy, energizing response in some situations — such as when we take a risk or strike out in a new direction. When we’re fearful, it can be reassuring to remember that, in the end, success or failure aren’t what’s important. If, in any situation, we do the best we can and learn from our experiences, then we’ve nothing to fear. Still, when we’re feeling fear, it’s important to know that the people who love us will go on loving us. Sometimes, we may just need to hear someone say, “I know you can do it; I have faith in you.” Then, fearful or not, we move forward, our fear balanced by faith and our willingness to try.
