The best way to over come fear is to go through it. DO whatever you are afraid of, the the fear will disappear. Each time you do that, you will become stronger within, until all external threats are gone. There is nothing to fear because fear is just a concept arising from "not knowing." By stepping into the unknown and letting it carry you through the process, your fear is transformed in to self-fidence. There is not much joy in being afraid all the time and worry over every little thing. Facing the fear, embracing it, and transforming it, can bring great joy into your life. You can do this with every other thing you are afraid of. You can turn you fears in the best opportunities for self-growth.
