Fear is a killer. It can kill your dreams if you let it. It can cripple your legs if you let it. Fear is there, but do not let it stop your growth. Because if you are not growing, then you are living your fears. Do not live in fear, but in love. Live in love, not fear. Live in love, not doubt. Live in the present, not in the past. Don’t fear. We all have it. You are not alone. And we will win together. According to George S. Patton, “Everybody’s afraid, but to do your job in combat you have to put your fear down. If you’re not afraid in combat, you’re either a fool or a liar.”

“Guilt is the result of fear …”- Benjamin Creme

As I said before, we all have it. It is not a weakness. It is a strength. It is a strength only if you know what to do with it. But if you don’t know what to do with your fear, if you don’t know how to handle it, if you don’t know how to play with it, if you don’t know how to make it your best friend, then it becomes a problem.

“If you’re not afraid in combat, you’re either a fool or a liar.”– George S. patton

Fear can paralyze you if you let it. Don’t let it. You are more powerful than you think. You can do more than you think. Do not let fear destroy you. Face it. Use it to grow. Use it to make yourself a masterpiece. And removing fear from your life is not going to happen overnight. You must be patient with yourself.

You can remove fear from your life. Yes, you can do it. All you have to do is to believe in yourself. Whether you enjoy hearing it or not, everything, everything, starts with you. Because you are responsible for your life.

To remove fear from your life, according to Benjamin Creme, “The way to remove fear and guilt is to … instill, acquire, build into yourself honesty of mind, sincerity of spirit, and detachment. If done assiduously, correctly, these inevitably build the detachment in which fear and guilt disappear.” If you can face your fears, you can live your life. Let’s do it!
