Fear is a word in which is commonly associated with discomfort, distress, and overall negativity. In today's society, the feeling and emotion of fear is a common part of our every day lives, this being so, fear is not purely negative. I find it interesting that an emotion in which actually helps us to survive and thrive is put into the category of negativity. Think about it this way, if you may, fear sometimes prevents people from doing things they desire or chasing after their dreams, but fear is also sometimes the adrenaline and drive needed to go out and pursue those dreams and desires.

Fear can be a wake up call in a bad situation that we may not have realized was even bad. Fear can also give us the push to make choices to better ourselves despite being scared of what others may think. The emotion of fear is one taken many ways, but if we have the opportunity to view it positively, shouldn't we take the opportunity and use this aspect of fear now as a light, a drive and a purposeful feeling not only in our own lives but in the lives of those around us as well?

This analogy sums up most of the main points, together with those whom we are building relationships, we should be building...
