Fear really holds us back from progressing. And I agree love is a key to cast away our fear. When I show my love to the people around me or express my gratitude for all the wonders of this life, my fears fade away. I like how you ended your thoughts with Christ's Atonement. Understanding the atonement hasn't always been easy for me, I always believed that He took the sins, would help, comfort and secure other people, but I had a hard time to believe he would do it for me, because I'm nothing special and I make too many mistakes. But the fact is that he stretches his hand to each one of us. And when we understand this faith will take the place of fear.
