How many times have you said (or thought),
"I was stopped from doing … by my fear" or
"I didn't have enough courage to …" or
"I don't feel comfortable enough to do … yet,"
thinking that fear was stopping you
or thinking that you were allowing fear to stop you?

Fear never stops you from doing anything.
It is your attitude toward fear,
it is your resistance to fear, it is your denial of fear,
it is your thinking something is wrong if you are frightened,
that stops you.

Most of what we call fears are not simply fears.
They are fears combined with the resistance to fears.

Fear does not stop you.
It is your resistance to fear that stops you (or slows you down).

Fundamentally, fear is just energy.
If you embrace your fear,
if you align with the energy of your fear,
then you can easily use that energy
in the service of your commitments and deepest desires.

Instead of fear stopping you, fear will empower you.

Learn to make friends with your fear.
It will be the best friend you'll ever have.
