Move Beyond Your Fear to Excitement

Many of us are afraid of the changing circumstances in our lives. Yet if we look beyond our fear, we find there's excitement in doing things differently. So why, sometimes, do we prevent ourselves from having a different experience? Because when we are afraid, we know our limits, and that feels safe. Excitement can be baffling and unpredictable.

It's easy to hide in our fears and never experience the joy attached to doing something new. As we let go of this, we realize each day has the potential to become a wonderful adventure.

The next time you are afraid of doing something new, how will you tap into the excitement that's there too?
