I hear some people say alot, "Fear is bad, Fear is not good". But the truth is that like money, it is how we use it (apply it in our daily life) that can be good or bad.

Fear is...
- a natural neurological response,
- a necessary and powerful survival instinct,
- our mind's natural way of keeping us safe from real or imagined pain, danger or harm.
It triggers our fight or flight responses, heightens our senses and awareness, keeps us alert to danger and better prepared to deal with it.
"I'm scared so I won't do it"
"I'm worried so I've got to be careful"
"I'm fearful so I'll run to safety"

Our mind is hard-wired to protect us and it uses fear to do this. But in every situation that we sense fear and are about to react to it, we must ask ourselves this:
"Am I letting this fear serve me or am I letting this fear rule (cripple, paralyzes, imprison, dominate, hold back, boxed-in) me?"
"Is this threat rational or real?"
