Understanding Fear's Dual Nature

Fear is universal; it knows no boundaries or exceptions. However, there’s an intriguing dichotomy—fear can either paralyze you or it can be a driving force. Two types of fear:

2. Fear with a Backbone - Stemming from past experiences that have left tangible marks on our psyche and emotional body. It’s used as the evidence to keep you held in place, AKA “stuck.”
