"Fear, as an object does not exist, there are only fearful thoughts and avoidance behaviors".
Everyone feels afraid at times, I was afraid of losing my job and I felt stuck, then after some major life changing events I came to realize the only thing anyone can do is to do the brave thing and act anyway.
So now whenever I feel afraid, I just say that (quote) to myself and act anyway.

If I was not afraid of the unknown and those things that I cannot control...I would probably be more aggressive towards executing my true endeavors. I am learning to take things one thing at a time, and to feel the fear and do it anyway. Do my part and leave the rest to God. Live life on purpose!

I notice a lot of people mention emotional fears (fear of rejection, particularly). I am an introvert and also suffer from those kinds of fears. I wanted to mention that I recently read Quiet by Susan Cain and found the book almost therapeutic in its acknowledgement and understanding. http://tinyurl.com/dxl5xpq

The most universal thing about fears is that we almost always regret them later.

The last thing fear stopped me from doing was making myself available to meet new people. Hiding is not the same as being invisible. Making the decision to be seen was one of simplest yet most empowering things I've done lately.
