I posted this message to Barbara Payne's blog this morning...

Everybody is afraid. What is fear and how can we conquer it? Fear is a state of experience and being. We feel "afraid." Often we project our fears onto other people and things. Fear exists inside us.

It takes courage to face our fears. Being aware that we are afraid is step one. Sometimes we are not immediately aware that we are feeling afraid. Beyond awareness, we must accept that we are afraid. At times, we deny our fears because we "fear" we will appear weak to ourselves and others. Awareness and acceptance lead us to an understanding of our fears, and from understanding we can make a conscious choice whether we should continue to be afraid. True understanding is the pivot point for conquering our fears.
