Fear

There are a lot of things I fear and I wonder how I ever get anywhere else, get to do a lot of everything else. I’m afraid of the dark, I’m afraid of the supernatural. I am afraid of crime, I am afraid of deep waters, speaking in front of a huge crowd. I am afraid of cats and I am afraid of heights and the list goes on.

And every time I encounter that familiar feeling of dread - that mixture of sweat and cold that makes me want to run back to my mother - I do the following things :

1. Pray

2. Breathe in

and...

3. Let go of my fear...

I guess that's what makes me a brave person.
