Fear is the hesitation before a leap of faith, the anxiety before a major life transition, or the sudden alertness when walking in an unfamiliar place.
A Meaningful Story
A father found his daughter standing frozen at the edge of a swimming pool. "I'm scared," she whispered. He didn't push her. He jumped in first, came up dripping, and said, "The water is cold for exactly seven seconds. After that, you forget." She jumped. He was right.
