Through their actions and attitude I was raised to fear money instead of seeing it as a plentiful and valuable resource. Because of my fear, I am living it in reality. I use my 50,000 in student loans as a crutch in my life and it prevents growth. I often feel trapped and like I need a windfall to propel me to the next level and help me to feel like a successful and valuable human being. I never thought at the age of 25 I would have so much debt, a low paying job, and still be at my parents house. Instead of using my circumstances as a motivating factor, I fear it all and allow it to cripple my growth. I pray to have positive influences in my life, find my talents, and work towards my highest good. I think that my greatest fear is that I will be financially poor like my parents.

I respect the options and choices involved in working through fear, but there is something very important that has been left out. When fear is felt, it is coming from only a part of you. It's not the whole self. If you are afraid, recognize the part of you that is afraid. When you do that, another part of you will step up (like a best friend would) and offer support and encouragement to the scared part. We are humans and we are complex. The many parts of ourselves that make up "me" can be recognized as parts and not "I". This article addresses a difficult topic to write about.

I would share my expereiences, thoughts, my opionions, my appreciation, gratitude, and my positive out look on life. I do a pretty good job with being who I am most of the time. The hardest thing for me to do if and when fear doesnt stop me is become a motivational speaker and coach. This is a dream I have had for a while however my fear of public speaking keeps me from pursing it. I have grown and become more comfortable with being myself in front of others, but at times I still have that fear! What would I do or say if fear didn’t stop me?
