Fearless
I choose to live fearlessly.
It
has been said that we are born with only two fears: the fear of loud
noises and the fear of falling. I might have developed other fears—of
insects, storms, or heights—but I can choose to be fearless.
Eleanor Roosevelt famously said, “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.” Facing fear means moving through it, not around it. I might have been afraid to ask for a raise, or state my opinion, or try something new. Yet when I faced my fear, it disappeared. I learned, and I grew.
Living fearlessly is a courageous decision I make. I take comfort as I remember the prayer: “Wherever I am, God is.”

I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.—Psalm 34:4
