DISCOVER "NEW OCEANS" TODAY

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. Andre Gide

How can we ever expect to achieve our hopes and dreams without leaving the comfort of what we have come to know as safe and familiar? It most likely will never be possible--for if it were, we would have already found it or at least made great progress towards it. Life is about fearless quests. It is about "losing sight of the shore" we have come to know and trust, and moving on with courage and faith towards growth and fulfillment. Fear is the great limiter in life. It holds us back from our potential, it reduces power and confidence, and it limits our ability to live life to the fullest. Because of it, we often shirk away from new things and new adventures, or avoid facing them in the first place. But where does that leave us? Any closer to our desired destination? How do you respond to fear? Do you use it as an excuse for inaction or avoidance of responsibility? Do you let it determine how far you will go, and where you might travel? Often in life, fear is simply a question of attitude and not seeing things clearly. And when you begin to realize that failure, pain, and defeat are not final, and are merely outcomes that you can learn from and grow stronger from, your attitude begins to change... and you no longer fear losing sight of the shore.

What are some of the things you fear in life? Why? Why do we give fear so much power in our lives? How have your fears limited you? How have they helped you?

Everything you want is on the other side of fear. Jack Canfield
