DailyBFO 10/5/17 Fear
FDR said "Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself."
I think fear can be good. When I hear a barking dog my fear reaction tells me to prepare to run.
I just attended an event celebrating MetroCare of Dallas on their 50th Anniversary and Emmitt Smith gave a talk. He discussed his fears and eventually how he chose to overcome them.
On a reflection of that point, I realized I am desensitized to how I define fear and in turn thought fear did not control me. Now, looking from a different perspective, I believe my everyday non-actions could be from fear but I have called it by many different names - tired, lazy, busy, priorities, blames, excuses, denial, etc.
Now I can be more watchful of why I am not taking action and question whether it is by good fear (too much risk, I could get hurt, etc.), limiting fear or something else.
Peace and Blissfully Healthy,
