Love the 'pachad/yirah' approach to fear. Will definitely keep this one in my back pocket. I had to have a difficult conversation not so long ago with someone which was surprisingly stirring a bit of emotion and fear for me. But a wise person offered their insight to me and said 'what is to fear more? Having the conversation (which I knew I had to have), or the consequence of not having the conversation'. Amazing how a switch in the mind can make things a little easier..

Yirah is a stunning word. Will remind myself of this the next time I'm going to "inhabit a larger space than usual" - thanks for sharing.
