Living in fear stops us from living. It certainly stops us from living inspired. And it stops us from making a difference.

Have you ever said these words or some version?

"It's okay, I'll be fine, don't bother, I don't want you to go to any trouble..."

Chances are you did need them to go through some trouble, you needed help, you could have used a friend, and they probably stepped out in love to offer.  But you closed the door on love in an opportunity to share an experience and chose silence, loneliness and the Lone Ranger experience.  Why? Why do we all do that?

Because we don't want to be a bother. We don't want to be perceived as weak, unknowledgeable, stupid, lazy, taking advantage and the list goes on.  We choose fear.
