Overcoming our fears is something we all have to do, usually more often than less. There are lots of great quotes out there that relate to different aspects of challenges and the fears that come along with that, but here are some quotes that I’m finding helpful right now. They remind me of what I already know and help me keep my focus in a positive place.
(I unfortunately don’t know who to attribute some of these to, but none of them are mine!)
Fight your fears and you’ll be in a battle forever. Face your fears and you’ll be free forever. Lucas Jonkman
FEAR – Forget Everything And Run – or – Face Everything And Rise…it’s your choice.
You can’t change what you refuse to confront.
Fear doesn’t shut you down – it wakes you up.
Do not fear change. Change fear.
Courage is one step ahead of fear.
Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is a freedom. Marilyn Ferguson

And my favorite three, because they answer my biggest question about fear – how do we confront and overcome fear?
When fear comes knocking at your door, send faith to answer. Joyce Meyer
Let your faith be bigger than your fear.
And my very favorite?
This is so interesting- on Feb 16th I posted about a similar topic (ironically because I kept getting this same message from lots of different sources)- and now here it is back again for me! I am starting to feel, once again, like Hashem is really holding me close right now… I hope you will feel the courage you need in a deep and profound way, and that you will get all of the chizuk you need too to help you overcome your challenges ASAP. Big hugs, and thanks for this wonderful and timely post 🙂
