It stops you dead in your tracks, holds you back, and keeps you from experiencing life. Many have attributed being afraid to not accomplishing something in life and fear is often an obstacle when thinking about venturing into the unknown. So how does one overcome fear? Where does one begin? It begins with yourself and the power of your own thoughts, beliefs and philosophies.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">The good news is fear is very subjective and really all about mind over matter. Fear is only tangible for the person who has created it. The bad news is, you have to put in some effort to overcome it. This begins with changing your thought patterns, your beliefs and philosophies about life. If you see something as a fear, try looking at it as a challenge to overcome, rather than a daunting and unbearable experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Let\u2019s take travel as an example. I\u2019ve been planning a solo trip for the past few months and a question I have encountered time and time again is \u201caren\u2019t you afraid of travelling on your own?\u201d My answer is simply, \u201cno\u201d. How could I be alone when I am surrounded by a world full of people? Travel is not a thing to be feared; it is an adventure to be embraced, whether you are joined by familiar faces or not. Strangers can easily become friends. Unknown destinations you have never visited before can instantly become a new home. Challenging situations can become wonderful opportunities for growth. Change your perspective and the world will suddenly appear to be a much more welcome and safer place to explore. <\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Embrace the world that is before you and release whatever is holding you back. I leave you with the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, <i>\u201cHe who is not everday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life\u201d.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">~Daniela Masaro<i><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fear in itself is a scary thing.
