Hey Beautiful Lady,
Let’s talk about this four letter word that has enough strength to paralyze your future if you let it.
Webster defines fear as: an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger.
It’s an emotion that can control our senses, our appetite, our abilities, sleep pattern, and the digestive tract.
We won’t admit that fear has stopped us from moving forward into new careers, new opportunities, entering or exiting relationships, checking our credit scores, going to the doctors, finishing task we started, asking for raises at work, asking/giving help, becoming entrepreneurs, traveling the world and discovering who we truly are internally.
Am I alone , I didn’t want to be a failure so I let fear stop me from starting. I didn’t know what the unknown was so I stayed in my comfortable place. I didn’t want to be rejected so, I never tried. Fear allowed me to grab any excuse that could arise…So I let it stop me.
Fear it’s time to go… So I can grow!
- First be honest with yourself
- Face your fear, it doesn’t have to control or cripple your decisions
- Change and renew your thinking
- Don’t wallow in past failures and disappointments
- Trust the process of leaving your comfort zone
- Stop self sabotage
- Put the work in for your goals
- Believe in yourself
- Speak positive words of affirmation
- Avoid negative thinking and talking
Most importantly God hasn’t given us the spirit of fear but of power, love and of sound mind.( 2 Timothy 1:7)
Be Kind, Be Beautiful, Be a Woman on the Move

Great post and so true we allow fear take control when we are bigger than fear, smarter than fear. We just have to be willing in to take that step and move forward while remembering the only perfect person is God.

Thanks for empowering and encouraging me. Fear has definitely hindered me in the past in some areas. The more I lean on Him and less on me, the more confident and fearless I am 😊

This is truly a great posting. As I look back over the course of time, I let fear arise in me and limit me to step out on faith. No more negative talking, it’s time to let go of my self destructing mentality and push forth with things I want to achieve. Thanks for this motivation and tools to successfully put fear to rest.

Fear is what had held me back for so long.
Now moving forward knowing that I am no alone. That God truly had a plan for each and everyone one of our lives. Yes, fear will show up but we don’t have to accept it or let it stop us. As they say. Do it anyway and the fear will disappear. As you stated above God has not given us the spirit of fear. So, we don’t have to accept what we know is not from God.
Moving on in spite of.

Thank you for this post. It’s no accident that I can across this. Fear has crippled by life in so many areas. I know that God have so much for me to do, but because of my fear, I can’t receive what God has for me/ or what God want me do. I will continue to pray and ask God to give me the strength to overcome this stronghold .
