When folks sign up for my eZine, I always ask them, “What’s one obstacle that’s holding you back from living a wholehearted life?”

Three recent replies were:

1. That I don’t know where to start, I don’t know what makes me come alive. And, the fear that I can’t ever find my true calling.
2. Fear of exposing my true self. Silly,fun light hearted, extremely sensitive.
3. Fear. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of pain, fear of loss, fear of who I may become and fear of staying who I am.

So today we’re going to get real about fear and how to handle it.
