It is exactly acknowledging them, and seeing them for what it truly is, perceptions, false realities, that can only make me take the courage to let go... and choose a higher path. What a beautiful post. Thank you. Fara - http://www.pickmeupteam.wordpress.com I definitely agree and support your words of acknowledging our fears.

Many of us deal with fear and, as a result, negative ego, myself included. I'm 47 and still learning to identify, own, and walk through my fears, as well as being confident in who I am (as opposed to what I do). David Teri,

I am almost 50 years old, divorced with no kids so I can't use that as an excuse. I have been trying to complete my bachelor's degree while working full time. Everytime I go to take a test I totally freeze. I study and then it all disappears like I know nothing which causes me anxiety. I have studied many ways to overcome test anxiety and other study skills but they have not helped. Talking to someone the other day, I learned that it is fear. This article hit home for me. I am one to always give positive advice to others, but when it comes to myself. It looks like I need to face my disappoints in order to overcome them. Thank you.

I wish it was longer and offered more ways to embrace those fears. I've read in the "War on Art" that fear is often the greatest the more a person is passionate about something, the more somebody wants it, the more fear, and the more talent and the more one is in a way "destined" to acheive something, the more fear he has to acheive it. And I guess all the better, when he has... I mean this is a major subject and can be associated with almost any aspect of life. so I wish there was an easier way... regards, nadia dear Mr. Bohl,
