30 Days to a better man<br />
my internal debate this way. Because who wants to be a coward? A<br />
man seeks to be brave and courageous.<br />
3. Fear robs you of your integrity. Integrity means behaving in a way<br />
wholly congruous with your beliefs and values. But when we want<br />
to do something and we believe it’s the right thing to do, but we fail<br />
to do it because of fear, we violate our core values. Living true to<br />
your principles will always involve a healthy measure of overcoming<br />
your fears.<br />
4. Fear pushes you from the driver’s seat. A man is a captain of his own<br />
destiny. He makes the choices and chooses the roads that lead him<br />
to his goals. A man ruled by fear abdicates his captainship to his fear.<br />
He gives his fear the steering wheel. Who is the master of your life,<br />
you or your fears?<br />
5. Fear leaves regrets. A man does not dwell on the past. He learns<br />
from it, but never lets it hinder him. Yet if you allow fear to keep you<br />
from seizing opportunities that come your way, you will inevitably<br />
look back, kick yourself, and wonder why the heck you let fear have<br />
its way with you.<br />
6. Fear slows our personal growth. A man should always be striving to<br />
improve himself, to be a little better than he was the day before. But<br />
there is no growth without risk.<br />
How to Overcome Our Fears<br />
“Many of our fears are tissue-paper-thin, and a single courageous step would<br />
carry us clear through them.”<br />
—Brendan Francis<br />
We need not live our lives captive to our fears and insecurities. You can,<br />
through your will, become the master of your fears.<br />
