Fear

“Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.” Edward Vernon Rickenbacker

Fear is a good thing. It helps us protect ourselves from the things that can really harm us. But, we use it too much as an excuse. It readily available to use for not doing...for not changing. Use fear wisely to protect yourself BUT, don't use it as a crutch. To get any happiness or success, you must be willing to set aside fear and take that leap of faith. Take risks or you will always get the same thing.

Affirmation-Say: “I will have courage even when I am scared.”

Worry doesn't get you anywhere but it does make you think

The phrase "don't worry" isn't always the best advice usless it's followed by "make a plan."  Worry is like fear in that it can protect us.  When we are fearful we put up our guard to protect ourselves.  Worry can help us as long as we use it wisely.  Use it to have back up plans.  If you make no use of worry, it is a waste of brain power!
