Awesome post and very inspiring. Self-confidence and fear (amongst other things) are always in conflict. I truly believe that it is important to use fear to your advantage. You can grow by facing your fears. You can grow by stepping outside your comfort zone and challenging yourself.
There is a beautiful quote by one of my favourite writers that I think you will like!
"“There's no shame in fear. But understand this - the coward is ruled by fear, while the hero rides it like a wild stallion.” - David Gemmel.
Once you realize that fear can be used as a tool to overcome, you can become unstoppable.
