I don’t know about you, but I hate alligators. If I ever had the misfortune of running into one, a simple shotgun wouldn’t be enough for me. I would want to alert our nearby Air Force base to drop a missile on them.
Then why do I agree to go to the alligator farm when my grandchildren come to visit? Because I love my grandchildren enough to find a way to overcome my fear.
That’s the way fear works. It’s all too easy to see it coming, and then start running in the other direction. We head for safe ground and wrap ourselves in what we think of as our safe little world. However, when we do that, we isolate ourselves from the beauty, excitement, and fun of the outside world.
Fear of any kind is really nothing more than a big bully. It’s time to get rid of it once and for all. But how do you do it? See if some of these tips will help.
