Fear is caused by a false belief.
A false belief is unauthorised and is therefore disempowering & disabling.
Using will power to suppress fear is called bravery or courage.
Using emotional energy to overcome fear is called being emotionally intelligent.
Bravery & courage may be seen as rationally intelligent but they are not emotionally intelligent.
There are many examples of brave & courageous dead heroes.
I overcome a fear by challenging and changing the limiting belief that is causing it.
The belief that reality is true makes fear a true reality.
The truth is that the only energy that fear has is the energy that I give to it.
When I confront the fear with an empowering belief, what appears to be real disappears.
What we fear most is the experience of pain.
