I agree fear is bad, but worse for me is making the new habit of working daily. Just can't seem to do the work. I have a flurry of activity and then don't do anything for weeks.

I suppose I'll get there eventually. Might be a while, but I'll keep going because I do actually enjoy writing and researching. Too entrenched in my comfort zone, I suppose.

Thanks for your post Joe.

You are right. It does not help us to be afraid of something. It only weakens us. We need to face up to the world, look fear in the eye, and say, "I'm not giving you any attention today."

Sometimes easier said than done, but we can still do it.

Thought provoking, Joe. There is fear that warns us of impending danger. You might call that "good" fear, because it gives us a reason to act accordingly to protect ourselves, our families, our belongings.
And then there is irrational fear. Fear that is debilitating- makes us think, not about positive steps to preserve, but to hide, to become irrational, to do nothing but quake until the fear subsides. That kind of fear keeps us immobile, unable to make decisions for our own good. It's a trap that steals precious time - don't fall in it- "let's do this together." right on!

Great encouraging post. Thank you for sharing.
