Fear is a driving force for much of human behavior. Studies show that most people will do more to avoid pain than they will to gain pleasure. Pain is a significant component of decision-making. 

Learning to overcome fear has numerous advantages and makes life more fulfilling. Imagine making a decision based on achieving what you desire rather than avoiding what you fear. 

Consider some of the common fears that drive us: 

• Fear of failure
• Fear of embarrassment
• Fear of rejection
• Fear of physical harm
• Fear of death
• Fear of public speaking
• Fear of financial challenges
• Fear of losing a job
• Fear of losing a loved one
• Fear of being alone
• Fear of letting others down 

Our fears control our behavior. If there’s something you want to do, but don’t, fear is likely the cause. Mediocrity is one of the primary symptoms of a life directed by fear. How much does fear drive your decisions? If you’re being honest with yourself, fear is a significant part of your life. 

Fear leads to less than optimal decisions and outcomes. When choices are made that accommodate fears, the best solution isn’t utilized. 

When we avoid fear, our self-esteem takes a hit, too. We know what we should do, but we’re not quite “brave” enough to make it happen. 

Fortunately, dealing with fear is a skill. Sure, some people are naturally more fear resistant than others, just as some people can naturally jump higher than others. But you can learn to feel less fear and learn to act despite fear. 

Fear and the response to fear become habits over time. You can create new habits to bypass the fear response. New habits can also be developed to grow your courage.
