Somewhat off topic but the opposite of love is not hate. Love means you have strong emotions for someone or something. If you hate them or it, then you still are having strong emotions. The opposite of love is indifference. Moving from total emotion to no emotion. enjoy!

Fear can be a GOOD thing.

Like when you’re staring down a really steep ski run. And the snow conditions are dicey. And you don’t know if you should go for it.

And that little voice in your head says “Back off, don’t do it. It’s not worth it.”

There are times you should LISTEN to that voice.

Having experienced several major knee surgeries, believe me, I KNOW. ;-)

Facing it makes you stronger every time! Like steroids for your confidence.

TOTALLY! Turning fear into adrenaline is exactly the sort of fuel I mean. And, no doubt, there was tons of such alchemy this last weekend. Thanks for the comment, Ami. It’s nice to know you.

I love this post. For me, fear is often a signal that great opportunity lies around the corner. If I can do what I need to do, the fear morphs into adrenaline rush, providing energy and focus. Getting over the initial scary hump is the hard part.

SO true. I don’t dig on anxiety. Facing your fears, even with knocking knees, would always be preferable to me. ALWAYS. Though that doesn’t mean I’m not sometimes a big giant wimp anyway. : > )
