#522: 2016, The Teacher (Friday, December 30)

We are at the last Friday in 2016, the year of facing/conquering fears. What a year of lessons it's been!

• I learned that fear keeps us stuck, but sometimes it also protects us
• I learned that sometimes you have no choice but to face your fear
• I learned that when you do, the reality is never as bad/difficult as you imagined
• I learned that there is no greater feeling of accomplishment and joy as when you face a fear and come out on the other side
• I learned that you don't have to conquer every fear you have, but at least acknowledge them and try

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE LESSONS YOU LEARNED ABOUT FEAR THIS YEAR?

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FEARS YOU WERE ABLE TO FACE/CONQUER? Make a list, keep it somewhere visible and refer to it every time something makes you afraid.

Now give yourself a pat on the back! You deserve it. Here's to facing the fears of years to come.
