Face Your Fears, How to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

“Fear makes strangers of those who would be friends.” – Shirley MacLaine

Egypt. Everyone told me not to go. “It’s dangerous,” they said. “Why would you go there, right now, amidst everything?”

“News only reports the horrible things,” I replied, “I can show you news reports of plenty of awful things going on in my own city that I would never have even known about.”

Each time I gave this response, I felt a bit more fear arise inside me. “Was I being arrogant? Were we really putting ourselves in harm’s way by going there?” Being a fairly seasoned traveler, I have gotten familiar with my “pre-adventure fears.” Before a big trip, I tend to think of all of the horrific possibilities of what could happen to me while I’m in the foreign land, all of the images I’ve seen on the news and all of the scary stories I’ve heard, roll up into a jumbled fear ball in the pit of my stomach. Then, once I show up, I am reminded once again, that the new foreign place is filled with people, just like me, trying their best with what they’ve got.
