"We have places of fear inside of us, but we have other places as well - places with names like trust and hope and faith. We can choose to lead from one of those places, to stand on ground that is not riddled with the fault lines of fear, to move toward others from a place of promise instead of anxiety. As we stand in one of those places, fear may remain close at hand and our spirits may still tremble. But now we stand on ground that will support us, ground from which we can lead others toward a more trustworthy, more hopeful, more faithful way of being in the world."

My dear friend, this is by far one of the most helpful things you've ever pointed out....Thank you for the food for thought and inspiration...
Exactly! Fear is something that hinders self-expression. So, it is better off left at bay. Be considerate but not fearful. Trust yourself, and proceed.
