How many of us feel afraid often!? But, once you overcome your fears, you feel such a sense of achievement and I know I then feel like I can conquer anything... A couple of weeks ago, my 5 year old learnt to keep himself afloat in the pool with a floating device. He felt so proud of himself. I was going on a business trip last week and got a gut feeling that it was time to set him free of his floating device and teach him to swim without it. I took him into the water (with him clutching to my neck, he was petrified). I took his arms off me and threw him into the water - and he swam! Doggy paddle of course, but he was soooooooo proud of himself and I could just feel his sense of achievement and that he had overcome his fear - now I can't keep him out of the water!
DON'T ALLOW FEAR TO HOLD YOU BACK!
