Everyone is afraid of something. I\u2019m afraid of driving. Not so much being a passenger, but being the person in control of the car itself. That\u2019s a scary thing. But does our fear help us? Make us stronger? Force us to work harder? I know that my fear of driving forces me to be the safest driver possible. I drive as slow as a ninety-year-old woman. But you know what? That works for me. It helps me overcome this fear I have of driving. So do this: whatever it is that you fear, do one thing that makes you feel more comfortable to overcome it. For me, that\u2019s driving safely. It may not be ideal for the person behind me, but at least I feel confident that I\u2019ll get from point A to point B. We\u2019ll all learn to conquer our fears if we do it our way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
