Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart. ? Roy T. Bennett

I never really thought much about it until I read this quote, but it’s true, fear is a bully. When fear gets inside of you, it halts you in your tracks, it pushes you around and it causes you to give up on what is important to you.

Not only is fear a bully, it is insidious.  It creeps inside your mind, filling you with doubt. It tries to convince you that it’s on your side or it’s acting in your best interest, but it’s not.  Fear wants you to give up on your dreams.  Fear leads you away from achieving your dreams and goals and lulls you into complacency.

Fear is a bully, and we are taught from an early age to stand up to bullies.  So stand up to your fear. Drown it out, stomp on it, do whatever it is you have to do to not only keep it at bay, but to destroy it.  Be led by your dreams. It’s scary, it is, but you can do it. Your dreams are worth going for, and you deserve to achieve your goals.  Fear is a bully, don’t let it bully you.  Put fear in it’s place, listen to your heart and follow your dreams.
