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