Share post:

Fear can warn us to be careful, but it should not have the power to stop us from growing or doing what is good.

Fear Is Not the Whole Truth

What we worry about may not happen. Awareness helps us avoid making decisions based only on fear.

Be Brave One Step at a Time

We do not have to be fearless all at once. One small right step is enough for today.

Separate Caution From Avoidance

Mindful caution can keep us safe, while avoiding everything because of fear can prevent us from learning.

A Dhamma Perspective

When we see fear as one passing state of mind, we do not have to become that fear.

What You Can Do Today

Choose one good thing you fear and take its smallest useful step.

One Good Thing Today

Appreciate yourself for not letting fear make every decision.

Come Back Tomorrow

Life does not require us to feel no fear. It asks us to keep moving with mindfulness even when fear remains.
