Taking The Leap• Decisions made from a place of fear don’t always serve our long-term interests. • Fear can protect us from real danger, • It can also produce limiting beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behaviors that inhibit our potential, relationships and fulfillment. • Fear is a powerful force. I’ve made plenty of decisions from a place of fear. – Ryan Estis

Bold, decisive, intentional action is the antidote to fear.
