Fear is one of those emotions that cripple us from all sorts of opportunities. Fear keeps us playing small. We don’t live up to our possibilities. We don’t shine as bright as we could. all because we are afraid. Of what? That depends on the person. They may be afraid of what others will think. That people may see them as a fraud that they are. A person may be afraid to fail or afraid that they may succeed and then what happens?
The opposite of fear is love
Curiosity is the replacement of Fear
Curiosity allows you to connect to others and better understand where they are coming from. This understanding comes from love.
So ask questions when someone is upset. Learn how to get curious about what you fear. Why did you really get angry? Often it is because someone scared you or you had thoughts that were frightening. This is often why we yell at our kids that they did something that scared us.
