3 Reasons to Break Up With Fear
For as long as I can remember, I have had an on-again-off-again relationship with fear. Initially, he took the role of a protector, much like a father or a big brother would, however his presence soon turned controlling. His reign rendered me the cowardly lion: afraid to live with him and afraid to live without him.
He was there in my youth when I crossed the street, teaching me about the fear of danger. His presence became more dominant in middle and high school as he exposed me to the fear of rejection. And later in adulthood he http://halifaxartfestival.com/tramadol introduced me to the fear of failure.
What if you get hurt?
Don’t take that risk!

To walk away from my relationship with him would be to abandon the false sense of security that he provided.
