We all experience fear. Every single one of us. What we choose to do with the fear is the difference. We can either accept the love nudge from fear and discover what we are really afraid of or we can resist and put up the angry defensive wall. Maybe the response changes in different situations or different people. Be curious. Be gentle. Discover what fear is nudging you to release and move through to gain strength, courage and confidence.
