Inevitable FEAR

Whether we are open about it or not we all face fear at one point in our life. This week I began reading my boss's book Born on The Border. It wasn't a required reading or anything, but I love reading. Well there was a quote that stood out from the reading that made me really sit down alone for awhile and think. 
"Porque voy a tener miedo"

Why should I be afraid? 
Like what is the worse that can happen, If I'm already at the bottom why should I let fear stop me from trying to improve my life. I realize that it's easy to let fear get the best of us, but we also have to embrace fear. Fear has been the biggest motivator and it is what has got me this far in school. I find it interesting though, that many times the mention of the word is taken negativity. Maybe because we have this negative stigma attached to the word. So its time we embrace the world and be more open about talking about our fears instead of hiding them.

    This sounds like a book that is right up my alley. Where could I purchase it? While I have definitely feared many things throughout my life, I can't say that it is has been a big motivator for me. Positive reinforcement, and even more, success are the two biggest motivators for me, personally.

    Ive made immigration issues, particularly DACA, the focus of many of my other policy classes. I know exactly the type of fear that you talk about that these immigrants face.
