Hi Lana. Thanks for adding me on facebook. I recently wrote a story about a woman lost in fear. http://www.upliftantidote.co.uk/wordpress/2009/12/a-couple-of-questions-for-you/ What would be your advice to her?

Fear is such a limiting thing. It can really put a spanner in the works in so many ways. It needs to be challenged, it needs to be faced otherwise fear can shrink us down into being something much less than we truly are.

Speak to you soon, Jacqui x

I agree PB, I’ve been in a situation like this. Something not so good happens, but you are happy it happens because you know that now you’ll actually do what you wanted to do for a long time. Best of luck to you!

Loved this post, Lana. I’m in the process of losing my secure, well-paying corporate job, and it is nice, in a strange way, to have that forcing function pushing me out of my comfort zone. I’m seizing this opportunity to start my own business, doing work that interests me with a smart and trustworthy friend as my partner. I think it’s sometimes hard to make big life changes unless you’re forced to do so.

It’s now or never, as they say, and I’m excited and hoping for the best!

I enjoyed reading your post! I especially like your advice to “find your whys”. It’s actually my favorite question I ask myself. It helps to ask yourself why you are afraid to do something so you’ll know what’s stopping you. Thanks for this lovely read.

Hey Lana,

Great post. I’ve always said that fear is just a tool and an indicator to tell us what area’s of our lives need to be addressed. Where you feel fear, there is something there that needs attention. We have some fears that aren’t that important and don’t need to be tackled but there are some which definitely need to be addresses in the way that you mentioned. One example for me was doing things alone. Now I do lots of things alone with no fear!
