Most of us adults are afraid, too. Fear is universal, it’s not just in you. You are not alone. Even your parents are afraid of things. We were afraid as children but the things we fear change over time. But always, there is fear. It’s actually a necessary feeling that we need in our lives. It can teach us to understand ourselves if we listen carefully.

It’s what you do with that fear that can determine the course of your life. Will you recognize it, yet not let it get in your way? Will you use it as an opportunity to learn? Will you let it prevent you from doing what you want to do, and being who you want to be? You are more powerful than you know. You have a choice. Don’t ignore it. Don’t be ashamed of it. Don’t run away from it. Try to figure out what it’s telling you.
