do the things you fear to do and keep on doing it. That is the quickest insurance way ever yet discovered to conquer fear. By Dale Carnegie Almost every person who has ever achieved his or her dream or major life goal has at some point had to face fear. You see, fear is an inedible component of personal growth. Was most important to understand is that fear does not have to paralyze you or prevent you from experiencing the fullness of life. Why must we face our fears? You say Well, in order to achieve anything new in life, we must be willing to change our actions so that we can produce new and improved results. But any time we introduced change in our lives, we move out of our comfort zone, and the byproduct is usually some type of fear. So if we do not understand what fear is and why we experience it on natural reaction would be to retreat from the new uncomfortable changes and, of course, revert back to our comfort zone. So when this happens, many people become stuck. If you want to liberate yourself from the shackles of fear and step into a new life and to new exciting places in your life.

The other situation at the very worst would result in some short lived embarrassment. While the two situations are poles apart in terms of consequence severity, our body reaction is almost identical. Can you believe that? So when you really boil it down, it is not so much the fear that stops people. It is the physical feelings produced by fear. With this new awareness, you are now in a position to take bigger actions and play full out in any area of your life, because now you have that awareness was before you. As Susan Jeffers pointed out in her bestseller, You can feel the fear and do it anyway. Why? Because understanding exactly what is happening and still be in the position where you a set, is a completely normal reaction and it prepares you to win.
