I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experiences behind him. -Eleanor Roosevelt

Fear sometimes paralyzes us. I think about all the things we are capable of or all the things we should and could do but don't do because of something inside that causes us to fear the situation. Like Joyce Meyer's say "Do it afraid." If we can overcome the fear, we are capable of going forward in life in ways that we couldn't have imagined before. I have to remind myself that there are times when fear is definitely something we should listen to but there are other times when fear is just silly. Another quote that I love from Joyce Meyer is... "Fear stands for "False Evidence Appearing Real." Love that. I remember using it when I had to have scary medical tests done. I just kept saying those words to myself and you know what...The tests weren't horrible at all. The scariest part was thinking it was going to be scary. :)
