The thing with fear is that it can’t do anything to you. You allow it to do something to you … until one day you don’t allow it anymore (hopefully). Don’t let it be the best-selling emotion in your head and heart like I did. Squash it to pieces so it becomes a ridiculous notion.

• Challenges are just opportunities to grow
• I am not identified by my fear
• God has my back and I will lean toward the Spirit
