I wanted to share what Brian Tracy has to say about the fears which are holding us back from our success.

"The fear of failure is the single greatest obstacle to success in adult life. Taken to its extreme, we become totally pre-occupied with not making a mistake, with seeking for security above all other considerations. The experience of the fear of failure is in the words of “I can’t”, “I can’t.”
"The second major fear that interferes with performance and inhibits expression, is the fear of rejection. We learn this when our parents make their love conditional upon our behavior. If we do what pleases them, they give us love and approval. If we do something they don’t like, they withdraw their love and approval-which we interpret as rejection."

"The antidote to these fears is the development of courage, character and self-esteem. The opposite of fear is actually love, self-love and self-respect. Acting with courage in a fearful situation is simply a technique that boosts our regard for ourselves to such a degree that our fears subside and lose their ability to effect our behavior and our decisions."

Only by meeting our fears head on can we really grow and change for the better. Though it is never easy, once you get out of your comfort zone great things will start to happen. You will achieve things you once thought impossible and you will grow in confidence and belief.

These are my two cents on the subject

Cheers,
