FEAR!
We all have it, it’s in our nature and keeps us alive. When there is physical fear, the feeling alerts us to get away to someplace safe. When the fear is in our head (no tiger stalking you), it serves to make us more aware. It’s an indication that something is happening which could mean we’re growing, taking more risk, or change is marching forward.
