We ALL live through fear.

The more I keep reading self-development books, the more I am aware about people and their actions. I can point out why they do the things they do, or don't do. It's amazing how intuitive I've felt since Landmark. It's actually hard to take things personally because it isn't about me. People, including myself, conduct themselves through fear and fear alone. It doesn't seem like that, especially when one comes off as being strength, but that's the act of making sure their fear is undetected. Everybody has fear, it's only natural. It's when we hide behind it that affects our lives and the people around us. If we can't push through the fear, we'll never be in control of our own lives, our own destiny. We'll never get that job we've always wanted, or that relationship we've always dreamed about. We'll never grow as individuals because we haven't experienced the failures, the successes, the opportunities that open in front of us. Learning is believing and believing is how most of us live our lives. If we believe in ourselves, then fear won't stop us. It'll keep us pushing forward, learning, and teaching us how to live courageously; a way of being that will bring us happiness, what life should be about.
