Fear is a horrible foundation to build a dream upon.

I’ve been thinking and writing about that a lot lately.

Do what you’re going to do because it’s the right thing.

Do what you’re going to do because it’s what you feel called to.

Do what you’re going to do because it will change you and more importantly, the world.

But don’t do it out of fear.

Don’t chase a dream because you’re afraid your parents won’t be proud.

Don’t chase a dream because you’re afraid to look foolish if you don’t.

Don’t chase a dream because fear backs you into a corner.

Fear is a terrible fuel.

We all feel it, but we all get the choice to build on something else.

Be brave until you actually are. Be courageous until it’s true. Be bold even if boldness feels like a coat that doesn’t fit.

And whatever you do, don’t build your dream on a foundation of fear.
