Princesses and Dragons

A dear friend told me that every good story needs a princess and a dragon.  Not literally, of course, but a force for good, and a force for evil. 

As I was thinking about my books and my stories this morning, I realized the most common dragon in my books is fear.

I truly believe that fear is what prevents so many people from living their best lives.

Fear of the unknown.  Fear of being vulnerable.  Fear of losing control.  Fear of the other.

I believe that life can only be fully lived when we use fear as it was intended by evolution, to keep us alive.

What do you think?  Do you think the dragon Fear has limited your life or the lives of those you know?

Have you seen fear used to prevent happiness?
