Thursday’s essay is called, “‘To act in spite of your fears is a genuine act of courage,” and it comes just after the new year has rolled around. How appropriate, because if the new year ushered in a desire to turn over a new leaf, list and attempt to fulfill New Year’s Resolutions, or begin again to try to forge change in your life, then I would suggest one of your challenges will be to act in spite of your fears. This essay is perfect for the time because it provides specific suggestions you can implement at once. To act requires that you get out of your comfort zone. You need to read this essay!

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview:
To act in spite of your fears is a genuine act of courage
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
When our mind is consumed with fear, it is not available to notice what is going on around us, to hear the sounds of birds, to feel the gentle touch of the wind, to perceive the creaking of the trees, to sense the mood of our spouse, to observe the reactions to our words, to spot others’ emotions or detect our own, or to consider how our body feels. Fear makes us half-conscious. Fear keeps us in our comfort zone. Fear leads us to resist the very changes that would help us solve our existing problems. As Mark Twain said, “I’ve lived a long life and seen a lot of hard times...most of which never happened.”
