The only thing we have to fear is fear itself

When Franklin D Roosevelt proclaimed that “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” in his inaugural speech as President of the US in 1933, I wonder whether he had any idea that it would still be being so widely quoted almost 80 years later.

A free online magazine has just launched which embodies the spirit of Roosevelt’s proclamation, aiming to provide inspiration to those who let fear hold them back from being their best self.

Entitled Fear.less, the online mag aims to inspire people to face their fears head-on through the stories of others who have done so. Those people whose stories of courage in the face of fear feature in the magazine’s launch issue come from all walks of life, showing that fear can be a crippling emotion no matter what your circumstances.

So, if you’re having a crisis of confidence, head to the Fear.less site and check out its first issue (you can download it as a PDF or view it online in your browser). Hopefully, you’ll find inspiration to break through your own fear barrier.

Fear.less (via a friend who has fought her own fears head-on to provide inpsiration to all around her — thanks Lucinda!)
