Fear can be a debilitating emotion that a majority of individuals suffer from at some point. Overcoming these fears is a daunting task for some, while others seemingly face their fears head-on. For a long time I had an extreme fear of horror movies, even watching commercials for them would terrify me. Many people find horror movies entertaining, they can watch the blood and gore without the fear that stifles some.

How many times in our life have we faced something that scared us or made us nervous? What did you do? Did you run away or did you face your fear and overcome it? From a young child that faces a challenge of going to sleep fighting the monsters under the bed to an aging adult fearing death, we all have something that we fear and make an internal decision to avoid or face it.

I have this fear that causes my body to shake. When I think about it, my skin becomes pale and cold. It’s death speeding through my mind. Once I have seen these monstrous roller coasters, the only thing in my mind was fear. Knowing that I’m afraid to go on these rides, I didn’t want to look like a fool in front of my friends. My mind is thinking of deadly thoughts. My palms were sweaty and I was twitching like a fish. I was petrified of heights. We pulled into the roller coaster park in our Ford
I have a penetrating fear. It causes my heart to pound. My entire body turns numb. My knees tremble. My breathing becomes rapid. Hollowness is etched in my stomach. I slowly drown inside when I have to confront my fear. This severe phobia of the sea cripples me to my soul. Until the age of five, my life was not always this way. This was the time in my life where I enjoyed being in the ocean. On one fateful day, at Venice beach, the ocean tide took me under. My family and onlookers could not break

Just because you tried something two or three time and failing does not mean the entire idea is a mistake. Do you expect to get a Blackjack on every game that you played?

people and overcoming fear? When fear is discussed in this text is means everyday fears that limit us from accomplishing goals (long and short term) and/or dreams in life. As humans we are holding back our full potential with the chance of failure. Usually humans do not have all pieces, or have them in the right order.
