What’s it about?
Every person in the world knows what it is to fear, but not everyone knows how fear works and how it can be defeated. In Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, you will discover that all fear boils down to one essential thing—being afraid that you can’t or won’t handle something. Whether you are dealing with an external fear of things that might happen to you, or an internal fear concerning your state of mind, at the bottom of it all is the anxiety that you won’t be able to cope with what the world might throw at you.
Fear inherently makes you doubt your ability to deal with reality and take action, but you already intrinsically have everything you need to overcome your fears. It is simply a matter of making the conscious decision to take things one step at a time, while setting goals for growth and self-improvement. You can’t eliminate fear altogether, but if you can accept it and move on, your life will become more positive and exciting, even in the face of struggle and hardship.
All of the fear-fighting skills and tools you need are at hand, it’s simply a matter of identifying them and sharpening them for regular use. If you can learn to face your fears and enable yourself to take action, not only will you be able to defeat your fears, but also embrace them and find strength in overcoming them. Fear will no longer be a debilitating force when you face challenges. By feeling your fears, and proceeding in spite of them, you will learn that you have the mental strength to overcome anything, which is an extremely empowering lesson in itself.
