Recently, I was listening to an interview with an Olympic high diving champion. They asked her how she overcame the fear to jump from higher and higher platforms. She said she learned a lesson early on- that when she decides to do something challenging, she leaves fear at the door. She literally pictures herself dropping it off and moving forward.

What a great piece of advice. What are you nervous about right now? A job interview? A public speaking event? A high diving competition?

Try her advice. Recognize the fear you have about the event and leave it at the door. The apostle Paul gives us some encouraging words in 2nd Timothy

“for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control”
