Like rattlesnakes. Or busy construction sites when not wearing a hard hat. Or poison ivy and sumac. without the necessary fears we have, a lot of us would not be alive today.

Clark, A lot of fears don't make rational sense. I've thoroughly broken that one, but I still can't explain why I felt apprehension in the first place... R. Clark,

A lot of fears don’t make rational sense. I’ve thoroughly broken that one, but I still can’t explain why I felt apprehension in the first place…

Dave, I'm glad your friend found this article useful, hopefully her experience will teaches her to shed more fears in the future. Alvin, Great to hear we are on the same path. This trial has proved to be incredibly challenging but also completely different than the others trials I am used to. Already I can see a positive impact after only a few days. Thanks for the comments, Alvin, Michael and Dave.

Dave,

Alvin,

Great to hear we are on the same path. This trial has proved to be incredibly challenging but also completely different than the others trials I am used to. Already I can see a positive impact after only a few days.

Strangely enough, I did this a while back and made a list for myself too. I realized that if I wanted to grow, a way of doing this was to list down those fears that were irrational and prevented me from growing...and go do them. Shortly after that, I got an invite to go jogging (fear!) and be in a photoshoot for a local magazine (fear! fear!). Both turned out to be less fearful than I anticipated and more fun than I thought. My great-grandmaster in the martial arts school I'm in (who was an operative during the Second World War and had real life and death experiences) once told him that in life, courage was the most important thing. With courage, one could do anything. I'm with Steve Pavlina, my great-grandmaster and you on this too: I think courage is the most essential quality, and I'm looking to build mine up as well :) Sounds exciting Scott!

He wanted to get together, but she kept putting him off and putting him off. Long story short, after reading this she decided to go for it and had a great time. She thanked me this morning for sending it to her.
