Conclusion

Avoiding fear and emotions that scare us is human nature. Sometimes, fear is good because it prevents us from doing something stupid. Like leaving our cozy cave to venture to the wild where beasts lurk.

But the truth is, most of our fears today are just inner dialogue that keeps us stuck.

Experiencing fear is normal but to have your fear control you at every intersection of your life is not.

It’s been said that FEAR stands for False Events Appearing Real, which aptly implies that most of what you’re afraid of doesn’t ever come to pass.

Grant Cardone

When we avoid fear, we are also potentially avoiding joy, happiness, and growth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson puts it this way: “A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.”

Learning to overcome fear for five minutes longer than the average joe can give your life a whole new meaning and joy.

We don’t need to be courageous or brave every minute; we just need to be for five minutes longer when the time ensues.

Here are the best inspirational quotes on fear so you can overcome all undue doubts for five minutes longer to fuel your success.
