DAY 6

Overcoming Bad Fear

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its
watchful place at the heart’s controls.

— Aeschylus

Sometimes it can feel like the bottom is falling out of your highly
organized life. In that case, a careful re-evaluation needs to take place,
because the challenge or chaos may be sending you a signal to give up.
This is the bad fear talking. There may be moments of temporary dis-
couragement. You might experience the loss of your ideals, dreams, and
direction. Stop for a moment and listen to good fear’s encouragement.

Then press on. The good feelings will eventually return.
