Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. This poem was inspired, after I read for the second time, the book titled 'Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway' by Susan Jeffers. I had read this inspiring book years earlier. But as the years rolled on and new life experiences tumbled in on me, I needed to take a fresh look at a brick wall of a fear which was blocking my path forward in life. Although I had overcome smaller fears, there was this root fear who's strength resisted my attempts to remove it from the garden of my heart - the incredible power of the fear of rejection. I made the decision to stop running away from fear and somehow learn to make it my friend. You can read my poems and verses at Simply Story Poetry on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and website.
