Following Your Fear

Most of the time we assume that if we are really afraid of something we should avoid such situations, but what if our fear is a sign that this is exactly the road we should be going down? I'm not talking about the negative kind of fear, the fear that stops us from doing something that is dangerous or irresponsible, but the kind of fear that appears when we have an idea or a dream.

The fear that can hold us back from pursuing a dream we have had for a long time is the kind of fear that we should follow rather than avoid. People tend to have some of their biggest breakthroughs and successes in life after they have decided to follow their fears rather than to stay away from what makes them fearful.
