How to move forward in spite of Fear
Mon 24 October 2011
, LEAP, Tara Sophia Mohr
Tara Sophia Mohr is not a person to be afraid of appearing in front of an audience. However, she nearly cancelled her appearance on the popular Today Show out of fear to be not good enough. Sounds familiar?
Recognize fear when it shows up because it can do in a million ways. Know that Fear lies. And that you can perform fine even when very afraid. Because: What defines our lives is not finding a way to live without fear, but rather, our capacity to keep on stepping forward, even when we are afraid.
Read Tara’s blog on Fear and how to handle it on her blog http://www.taramohr.com/blog/ And see for yourself how she did on air at: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/29054368/vp/44875476#44875476
