Sometimes we allow the feeling of fear influence our choices in life. We often choose the ‘safest’ option and this can severely limit the joy and satisfaction of availing of great opportunities which we encounter on our life’s journey. As a result of this we can be living half-lives due to fear. In my experience as a Life Coach fear is the number one reason we choose not to follow our dreams. Fear can even prevent us from going for what we really want and are capable of pursuing in life. We need to “push through” that fear threshold daily in order to move on. When we feel the fear and do it anyway we will be living more “in flow” with our lives and be able to gain the most from each and every day.
We have far more choice and opportunity now than ever before, much more than our parents or grandparents before us. Without allowing fear get in our way we can relish all of these new opportunities.
