The Many Faces Of F-E-A-R
"F-E-A-R has two meanings: ‘Forget Everything And Run’,
or ‘Face Everything And Rise’
: the choice is yours."

Fear may
have many faces and may touch each of us in a different way, but it does touch
each of us. We are not all afraid of the
same things and we all react differently to fear when we face it. The important thing to recognize is that
whatever the form or intensity, we all have to deal with fear in our
lives. No matter how brave you may seem
to others, you will have to face fear.
No matter how much you hope and pray that you will not have to deal with
it, fear will come to your door. It is a
reality of life. It is also something
that you can both control and overcome.
The American General, George S.
Patton said, “If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a
quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are
frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.” There is no shame in fear, nor is there
guilt, remorse or regret. Fear is a
reality we all face. Now, the question
then is, what do we do with fear?
Success-minded people know that
overcoming fear is not the removal of it from our lives. That is a futile battle. Overcoming fear is moving forward, achieving
our goals and enjoying our success in spite of fear. It is controlling fear rather than allowing
fear to control us. As the great actor,
John Wayne once said, “Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up
anyway.” Success does not require the
absence of fear, but it does require the development of courage.
