@Double Eagle – I think you make a great point about those who are fearlessness and success, although I think courage is a better description. It is acting despite fear and not knowing the outcome for most. If we wait until we aren’t afraid we most likely won’t do much of anything, especially as we are just learning to tackle our fears.

@Grog – How you deal with the fear is exactly the point that is were the battle needs to be won.

@Nicole – You nailed it. We need to act despite fear. Access the situation figure out how the fear is affecting you and push through.

@ Francesca – I agree fear seems to be natural, but it also seems to be a somewhat immature emotion and not at all empowering. The point is to not let other or negative emotions effect your decisions, and fill your life with things that inspire and motivate.

true enough, we can never live our lives better if we live in fear. It holds us back.

I personally think fear is normal since we are not certain what’s going to happen tomorrow. It is a totally acceptable concept for a person to fear. However, most of the time it is something induced to us by people with power.Sometimes, we even loose our voice to speak the truth.

I believe fear is all right, as long as you don’t let it take over your life. Somehow, it allows you to think things through better. If you fear something, it will help you assess the situation and take calculated risks. However, it is also true that you need to pass that phase. Sometimes, you just have to do something out of faith.

I think that we are all consumed by fear in one way or another. I am in constant fear about my family’s well being in this awful economy. I guess whats important is how you deal with your fear.

I could not agree more. There’s a certain fearlessness exhibited by successful people. It’s not to be confused with recklessness which is more of a negative trait. People who are fearless are willing to assert themselves and take measured risks without the fear of failure that paralyzes many people. If it doesn’t work out, they simply regroup and try again.

This is something I need to get a lot better at.
