Are you holding yourself back?

Hello Darling,

So, one thing that I noticed that can definitely control what one achieves in life is fear! I used to allow my fears to hold me back-- fear of failure, fear of disappointing other people, etc. The more I've grown the more I've learned to use my fears not to hold me back but to push me forward and to help me grow more.

Like I said in the post The Past Is... I used to be the hugest perfectionist in the whole world! I can see now that this was definitely because I had a fear of failure. The more I realized that I had this fear the more I was able to overcome it.

I recently realized though that you are definitely able to control your fear!! 

Alright, I recently just watched that movie After Earth, and there are actually some really good quotes in that movie! One of them, which all of you probably already heard from the movie trailer, is "Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice."

Okay, so this quote was really a reminder to me of how much control we actually have over our fears! Although we may forget that sometimes, ladies, our fear is able to be controlled! Your fear only exists if you allow it to exist!

Fear is something that we create in our minds. Don't get me wrong fear can seem extremely real, but that just depends on how real you make it. Fear is just another obstacle that we have to overcome to move forward in life.

So, ladies stop allowing your fears to hold you back because if you are allowing fear to hold you back then you are really holding your own self back!

And remember, ladies, Stay C.L.A.S.S.S.Y ;)
