Published: June 4, 2018, 2:22 a.m.

What could you accomplish if you weren\u2019t afraid? Have you ever held yourself back because you were worried what other people might think? Have you ever rejected an opportunity because you feared rejection or failure?

We all experience fear, but what truly matters is how you direct that fear and ultimately overcome it. Often we see a successful person, but neglect to understand the shortcomings and insecurities they had to push through in order to thrive.

We think that maybe one day we will reach this magical place where our fears dissipate, but that isn\u2019t reality. Our power lies in our ability to break outside of our comfort zone and go after what we want, despite fear.
