That’s a fine angle on fear and different from what I have seen before. Sometimes personalizing an emotion can help us better regulate the feeling and produce a better outcome.

I’ve linked from my blog to the article.

Terry,

That’s strange, I seem to have a similar relationship with my own fears, who have stuck by me through thick and thin, always very keen to remind me of times which I have failed, what I can’t do and why I am not up to the task.

Nevertheless, I must say that my most rewarding experiences so far have come from the few occasions where I have ignored the council of this ‘friend’ and stepped out of my comfort zone.

Terry I’m regretting not stopping by your blog sooner! What a wonderful post. When I look back on life I see how much fear has held me back over the years. I long to teach my children how to overcome their own fears and have a happier experience.

Thanks Karen, Akemi, Joanna, Kare, Vicky, Michelle V, Ulla, Michelle, and Zane!

I appreciate your collective insights on this post – that’s what I love about this medium. It’s like planting a tree and watching it grow, adding new branches and going off in different directions.

We all are friends with fear. Any and all perspectives on how to deal with it is welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks again, and all the best to you all!

Terry

Great post! Fear, the friend that keeps on giving. We lug ‘em around….until they’re our closest, bestest friend, demanding all of our true emotions, isolating us.

Thanks for being so open about ‘your friend’, our friend.

Terry, THANKS! Thanks for the laugh, and the gentle reminder about how fear can impact life, and hold us back from experiencing our BLISS.

A Very Appropriate topic for my day, today.
