A Sound Mind

Having a sound mind is also necessary.  I am to be strong and brave and fearless.  Sadly those things don't come easily for me.  It is made worse by having anxiety.  However, I am learning to overcome those fears in my life.  I realize that the fears are really the result of anxiety.  I fear confrontation but that is because of anxiety.  Being anxious is not fun.  It can be and it is scary at times.  Ironic, isn't it? I often find myself living my worst fears whenever I have something to fear about.  On the other hand, a little anxiety can be a good thing.  However, this is not an easy thing to admit.  Anxiety is the opposite of a sound mind.  I can renew my mind, which would produce an even more sound mind. Why didn't I think of that before?
