Fearless

Wild hares and rabbits have a reputation of being shy, preferring to not be seen, often as soon as you see them, they bolt - Arctic Hares can run as fast as 60 km an hour! I know normally you wouldn't think of a shy animal like the hare as fearless, but when you're close to the bottom of the food chain, you need to be resilient, fearless and clever! 

For us as humans, fear is often gets in the way of success. While fear serves a purpose - it's meant to keep us alive - often, we let our fears stop us from reaching our true potential. I'm guilty of this myself. Sometimes dissecting our fears is a good way to get past them, since most of the time, our fears aren't logical, but they hold such a fierce grip on us. No one is truly fearless - but acknowledging our fears and pushing past it anyway; that's when we truly begin to live the life we are destined for.
