There are so many types of fear. You could have a fear of speaking in front of people, a fear of spiders, fear of falling down, etc. There is always going to be fear in ones life. There is a healthy way to deal with fear. You could face your fears directly and as you do, they won't be as fearful the next time you do. Here is a website I found with some words that I find helpful if you keep your mind open.
Everything is easy to do if you know how to do it; it's the same with overcoming fear. When you figure out your goals and how to achieve them, the word 'effort' becomes meaningless.
So, let's take a look at the steps which lead us to fearlessness:
-Get to know your fears
-Get to know the source of your fears
-Step into the things feared
-Make the negative flow stop
-Enlighten all
It may be more accurate to think of these steps as aspects, because the actual process of overcoming fears is simply an elegant shift from a state of fear to the state of Oneness.
Fears are just an obstacle in your path of becoming a joyous, radiating and powerful person. They are easy to overcome: pay attention, avoid denying.
Ending the state of fear ends the state of fear.
Get to know your fears
Logically, to overcome your fears, you have to be aware of their existence first.
The maximum denial and non-aware ignorance can offer you is a kind of satisfaction of not having it worse.
Ask yourself: What is that I want?
It is important to understand your fears. If you completely map out your fears (and fears behind fears), they lose their power because they no longer get it from you.
After that, only a little nudge is required and they fall apart.
Write down all your fears. Think of everything you must or can't do.
Which people, what places, activities, situations, character traits etc. are you afraid of? What do you like, what do you dislike? Do you dislike because you are afraid?
What do you think where your limits are? Think BIG. Analyze it in relation to 'Everything is possible!'
Give a definition of yourself and examine it. You can probably find some limits implied by it.
Where are your limits?
Self-imposed laws, social laws, physical laws?
Linear thinking?
Time and space?
Do you feel that you must overcome your fear? If you do, then it is very likely that you have another fear you should overcome first.
Get to know the source of your fears
The state of fear is a state of limited, restricted awareness and of limited, restricted choices. Fears try to divert you and make you unaware of their true nature.
If you try to enlighten a fear that is not the source, it is possible that your energy/will/focus will be diverted from the source of fears, and the fears would continue to manipulate/backstab/steal your energy.
If you think you can't overcome your fears however you try, if you don't feel the bliss/joy/love/empowerment of overcoming your limitations, don't despair. It is not wrong to feel like that. Observe how your awareness is being diverted, and keep succeeding.
Step into the things feared
This source can be perceived as a thought, a word, a darkness drawing your energy into itself. It can also be a defiled color, sound, movement or a place in your mind or body - a 'hole in your aura'. Find a form for it which is more Loving, a form which would suit you better.
Without this source to rely on, the things previously under fear will balance themselves; they will find their true selves and become radiant.
Embrace, bless, enlighten. Vanish the illusion of separation.
What you feared until now is not separate from you.
Make the negative flow of energies stop
Gather up your courage and say 'Not anymore!'
Enlighten all
It's easy to overcome a situation in which you feel you are powerless or not worthy enough.
You are powerful. You are worthy.
Know that. Feel it in your essence and know that this is Truth.
There's no point in wanting something you already have.
Know you are powerful and there's no stopping you!

Find your courage! Living fearlessly is not the same thing as never being afraid. It's good to be afraid occasionally. Fear is a great teacher. What's not good is living in fear, allowing fear to define who you are. Living fearlessly means standing up to fear, taking it's measure, refusing to let it shape and define your life.
You have nothing to fear but fear itself!
And as Oprah Winfrey says, The thing you fear the most has no power. Your fear of it is what has the power. Facing the truth really will set you free.

Fear is Satan's tool against all mankind. It prevents us from being what we can be, answer a calling or many things. There is no better way to deal with fear than prayer and believing in God or something more than ourselves. Mind over matter, but some fears we can't handle alone.

By confronting your fears head on -- and know that you were given the GIFT of life -- and that Life is yours to choose what to do with --
IF you choose to live in FEAR -- then you will NEVER succeed in life or learn what you need to in order to survive ....
IF you choose to CONFRONT that Fear -- and take appropriate action -- then the FEAR is gone -- it has NO GRIP on you at all -- you CAN overcome all obstacles put in your way, and although some setbacks occur -- you are a SURVIVOR and have the ability to choose what is best for you

Face up to your fear and keep in mind that worrying about it won't add a day to your life.

I used to be afraid to crossdress in public. My girlfriend dared me to take a trip with her. I was dressed as a female the whole time, Even through airports and security and such. I was scared sometimes but now I am much better for that experience.
