Looking your fear in the face

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do"
​- Eleanor Roosevelt

Overcoming our own inner fears with which we've lived for many years is very difficult but not impossible. The reason why many of us stop trying is, because, we are not comfortable being outside of our comfort zone. It's much easier to keep things as status quo, be comfortable, even though we continue to live with our fears. If only we try and step outside of our comfort zone once in a while, I think many would be pleasantly surprised by opportunities that may be available for our professional and personal growth on the other side of fear.
