Fear has great power
It can keep us from doing things that can hurt us, but it can also paralyse and prevent us from making our lives better.
We can overcome fear by replacing it with something else. For example, if you are fearful of starting your own business, challenge the fear by:

- Surround yourself with supporters.
- Recognise the real value of your life and abilities.
