hey folks, I am going to make a commitment to face at least 1 fear each day for at least 30 days. this is something I have been thinking to do for the last few weeks because I'm sick and tired of waiting for things to happen, taking the passive approach to things, living in fear and "playing it smart".
I'm 26 and until the age of 23 I've been quite nice & socially shy which has been a result of social conditioning and family issues & environment. Due to that, talking to strangers for no reason for example, without having an excuse or question to ask always seemed awkward to me and I usually wouldn't talk.
Many people live all their lives in fear and mediocrity, never gaining the courage to step up.
I believe every hardship comes for a greater purpose, and those who can overcome their fears and hardships raise above others.
I'm going to start with talking to strangers, socializing and getting to know new people in the first 3 days.

Feel free to join me on this challenge here and please give suggestions/ideas.
What fears do you have?
What fears you wish you could overcome?
