I hate fear! I hate the feeling of fear, the rationalizing of it, and the false sense of security I get when I allow a fear to stop me from doing what I want to do. Its funny that I came across this post because I just wrote a post on fear also :) The way I see irrational fear now is an enemy that cannot win. I like to play a game of chicken with my irrational fears and see who flinches first! Do what you have to do Karen but don't let any fear, anytime, ever, hold you back!

I have learned to ignore fear and take the leap of faith. I don't think anything has been more 'freeing' than being fearless. Dave LifeExcursion Great post!

I'm finding this out every day! The great thing about dealing with one fear is that you build up momentum and it spills out into other areas of your life. I’m finding this out every day!

I also suffer from fear and anxiety problems, very often brought on by hangovers, sad to say, but then again I also enjoy many days in a sort of fearless reverie so I guess it all comes out in the wash hey. Great to discover this well written blog, looks like I am behind the 8 ball in making this find :-) Hey Karen that is a wonderful post.

And although I do find it possible (but difficult) to manipulate it, I think that it's run rampant in some other parts of my life. It's interesting to see that you've come up with an action plan, I look forward to seeing it and perhaps even implementing it myself.

I know it's not very helpful, as I can't explain the exact ways I got over it, but I literally "woke up" from my fear and my life has been increasingly better ever since. I was in the same boat as you though... my fear was literally of fear itself, and once I realized how silly that was, I was able to accomplish so much more.

That's funny... I like his stance, though. That phrase is a commonly used one, not even in reference to the book. I'll wait 'till I hear from her lawyers before I decide to change my title ;) Hi Darla,

Just read Leo’s post. That’s funny… I like his stance, though. That phrase is a commonly used one, not even in reference to the book.
