Great post! Thank you for sharing it, I specially loved your post about fear removing rationality. Yes when we are fearful we forget to see things clearly and therefore we sometimes get clouded with our judgement. Fear is a good thing if it used in a good way, too much of it can be devastating.

@Scott - You are right. It is very inspiring when you got on the other side of fear. I also find that it makes me fear other things less. @Nicki - Sounds like a great topic for group discussion. On a side note, I often find that planning out of fear means that I am often planning without a true sense of reality which leads to less wise decisions. @Happiness is better - That is some great action, joining Toastmasters in the face of your public speaking fear is an amazing step. Great job. Sometimes baby steps are good too, but that is a giant leap! Good luck. @Christopher. Hope it helps. Read The Happy Rock´s latest article - Your Money or Your Life?

I choose to not be afraid of public speaking anymore so I'm taking the bull by the horns and I've joined Toastmasters. I like that you mention action as an ingredient in over coming fear. It's amazing how many things we can overcome by taking action. Great post! Read Happiness Is Better´s latest article - Interview: The Franchise King

I actually taught a Sunday School lesson on fear and trust yesterday. It said basically this, fear can produce two reactions: 1. Prudent planning 2. Lost joy and crippling paralysis Great post. Read Nicki at Domestic Cents´s latest article - What Am I Going To Do With These Kids?

Very interesting and timely post Happy Rock! I think everyone has fears and the economic climate we are living through right now is probably intensifing some. I know that upon facing my own fears I come out the other end of the tunnel feeling fresh and inspired having defeated fear. Fear is a deep rooted emotion that can and does destroy lives so it's good to have a plan of action that you so well layed out. Thanks!
