Last week, I spoke to a select group of Women In Communication members in downtown Manhattan. Here is what they had to say in response to the most poignant question of 2010: what are you afraid of?
“My fear is just when will I be able to find a job. It’s that fear of rejection. How long will I have to go through this stress of the unknowns…It’s hard to not be scared.” - Unemployed since June ‘09
“My rent, my health insurance keeps going up and my income keeps going down… When I graduated from college, I never expected to be rich. But, I never ever thought I wouldn’t be able to make a middle class income.”
- Fearful New Yorker
“I have work dreams every night…” - Working mother recently out of maternity leave.
“Unfortunately, you get so paralyzed that it just zaps your creativity.” – Video Production Company Owner
Here at The Fearless Factor, we give extra concern to those aspects of peoples lives that seem to cause fear and anxiety, and get in the way of progress and success.
So please comment on this post. Tell us what causes you to feel paralyzed. Or respond on twitter by writing #whatareyouafraidof and your response.
