There are appropriate times for fear, such as the fear of falling or if there is suddenly a loud noise or we find a snake in our path. But most of us, on a daily basis, don’t really find ourselves facing things that are truly dangerous. We want to get a handle on our fear because fear is the biggest thing that will stop us from living a life worth living.
