Senza Paura!

In Italian, "senza paura" means without fear. What would our lives look like if we lived without fear? Of course, fear is ingrained in humans to keep us safe from doing things that could harm us, but if fear is always in the driver's seat, your actions will become limited. As Ralph Waldo Emerson stated, "Always do what you are afraid to do". Fear can come in as powerful whispers into our subconscious - fear of failure, fear of money or home insecurity, fear of looking foolish, fear of not being smart enough - the list goes on and on.

But fear is just a voice in our subconscious - not a reality. It may never happen. It may happen but you will persevere and grow from the challenge. Fear keeps our mind occupied with all of the reasons why something will not turn out well, rather than directing our energy to what could happen in a positive light. Once you have identified which fears are sitting on your shoulder talking to you, one of the best ways to address them is to have an accountability person - your spouse, friend, or life coach. Through coaching, a person can learn to identify their fears for what they are, and then create a plan to circumvent them.

When fear takes charge of your decisions, you can miss the path leading to your life's purpose. If we choose to follow fear, what will we have lost in the present, 5 and 10 years from now? While we will always be a work in progress when we learn to choose which voice to listen to, then and only then can we live senza paura!
