The UPSIDE of Fear?

I read another divorce blogger's article with this title above.

All partners in divorce have fears. They may be different ones, but fear itself is present at least a little in everyones' divorce.

The point of this topic is that fear can be debilitating. The fear may be about being alone, concerned about support and financial future, loss of friends and so forth.

In the end, the blogger's claim is that FEAR provides an eventual realization that the reasons for fear have to be dealt with. And, this is the UPSIDE.

The UPSIDE is the push the fear presents. Needing to make new friends, doing something to improve your financial condition, fighting lonely situations with getting up and doing something instead can all be upsides from fear.

I have in my book dealt similarly with the negative sides of divorce and the OPPORTUNITES that can help get one busy with their new life.

The UPSIDES for all of us who will face their fears and start doing something about those fears is the key element here.

Fear can be an UPSIDE.
