Your Fears Are Really Opportunities For Growth

Doing the inner work doesn’t mean you will never feel fear. What it does mean is that you will feel the fear but not let it keep you stuck, not let it stop you from moving forward.

Fears come up in many places…maybe it feels hard to be vulnerable in your relationship. You may fear being judged or being rejected. Maybe you’re afraid if you share a deeper and scarier part of yourself you will push him away. Maybe it feels scary to speak your truth because he may say he can’t give you what you need in the relationship.

Maybe you are unhappy in your current job but are afraid to leave because your current job feels comfortable and secure. For example leaving the security of a full time salary to grow your own business can feel scary. Maybe you will feel not as financially secure and there is less certainty at first.

Maybe you feel scared to take that big overseas vacation…traveling by yourself and to someplace you’ve never been before.

What all these have in common is this…yes there is fear, BUT when you don’t let your fear stop you there is so much growth and opportunity on the other side. If you don’t take that step, growth won’t happen…your relationship will not grow deeper and you will not have what you desire, you will not realize your dreams with your career, and you will miss out on a life changing experience from overseas travel.

If joy is one big purpose in life then why not allow yourself the opportunity to experience joy in the highest degree. Don’t let your fears stop you! Because the most amazing experiences are on the other side.
