What is the Role of Fear in your Life?

How many times have you turned away from an opportunity or even a relationship because you were too afraid to go for it? Fear keeps us in the background. It convinces us we can never accomplish our dreams, tells us to keep quiet, and separates us from the ones we love. Fear has an unparalleled ability to freeze us in our tracks, and limit what we are willing to try. Fear makes us lead a smaller life. Fear is not a bad thing. It exists for our protection as an early warning signal. But there is a big difference between the healthy fear that tells us to step away from the edge of a cliff and a constant fear that keeps us from living our life. Does fear destroys our individuality?

I dont think so.I think fear help your life to be balance.With fear you became cautious of what you gonna do.In some ways it helps you avoid hurts.But there's the other side of the coin.too much of it make you paralized and makes you unfruitful hehe.I think fear should go hand in hand with "balance"..am I makings sense hehehe
