When fear raises it's head, don't freak, look it in the eye, ask it its name and what it wants to teach you, then invite it to dance, pull it in real close and let it know that this is your life and your dance and you'll be taking the lead. Les Dossey
About This Quote

You have a choice. You can let fear take over your life and stand back as if you’re watching a horror movie, or you can choose to take control of your life and dance with fear. With this quote from Emily Brontë, the author of Wuthering Heights, you have a choice that will help you to move forward in your life. The first step is to look fear in the eye and ask it its name.

Answering your fears is a crucial part of conquering them. Take it one step further by inviting fear into your life and seeing if it wants to dance. If it's not comfortable with the idea, ask for assistance from within.

If it accepts, then lead the dance as you know best how to express yourself through this experience.
