What’s a fear you’ve overcome — and how did you do it?

View all responses

Showing up. Putting one foot in front of the other. And letting go of the results.

There have been so many times in my life where I could have let fear talk me out of doing something.

Climbing. Camping. Nursing school. Art projects. Writing projects! Homeschooling my kids.

The way that I overcome my fears is to pray about them. Talk about them. And then to do the thing that was ‘the next right thing.’ Sometimes it’s a little thing. Like showing up at a conference. Sometimes it’s a big thing. Like applying to school.

“Feel the fear and do it anyway.”

The fear can be:

Fear of failure. Fear of what other people will think. Maybe even fear of success.

It’s important to do those things that are in our hearts to do. Showing up for ourselves can be one of the greatest acts of courage.
