Fear is a natural part of life. It can creep up slowly, or pop up suddenly, sometimes when we least expect it. That sudden feeling of uncertainty can jar us, when we’re used to being so comfortable in our own skin. But it’s important we recognize that fear is simply a response to the unknown or the uncertain.
It’s a signal that we are stepping out of our comfort zone, and that can be a good thing. As women over 60, we have the wisdom and experience to not only recognize that fear, but to challenge and overcome it, and to make a commitment to live fearlessly thereafter.
After all, fear can hold us back from pursuing our dreams and living our best, most fulfilling life.
It’s time to jump in with both feet and live a life filled with new adventures and fun. Fearlessly!
