What are your fears? How do you deal with them? Have they prevented you from doing what you've always believed you should do and enjoying what you supposed should be experiencing?I don't know about you guys, but I fear a lot of things and to name a few:I fear snakes yet I let my husband have a boa constrictor for a pet and help him feed it all the time.
I fear heights yet I climbed a steep hill before and was frozen stiff big time!
I fear failing yet I take risks all my life and quite frankly I have failed a lot of times.
I fear angry people yet I can't really please everybody and so I have angered a lot in the process.
Oh yes, I feel my fear running into my spine all the way to my gut. But you know what? I embrace and do it anyway, though most of the time, I do some delaying tactics. It's really liberating once you have been unchained from these fears. How about you? will you keep on running away from your fears or embrace and conquer it?

Ha ha.. we are on the same boat.. as have the same fear.. the FEAR OF HEIGHTS, ACROPHOBIA..
One interesting incident i must say.. during my college days, i was granted a room in the third floor for staying..in the hostel.
I asked the Hostel warden to give me room in the ground floor, to which he refused..
So i took leave for 10 days.. After ten days i produced a fake medical certificate to the warden..which reads "that this patient is under medical attention..and he is suffering from frequent gidiness..and therefore he is not adviced to climb tall structures." and this worked and i got my room shifted to the ground floor, immediately..lol: (Am i not devilishly wise..lol.)
Happy mylotting..and Enjoy Peace Within..

Hi sreejithsreenivas! Yes, the future is an unknown territory. We will never know what's in store for us. I am glad to know that you are happy with your life at present and I hope you will stay that way for a long,long time. Let us just place our future in God's hands and trust Him that He will take care of it for us. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice day!

I am afraid of dogs. Due to my this fear, i never have a dog as a pet at my home. I keep distance from them if i see any dog during walking. I never see them during walk or on roads if they are in my surroundings & go quickly away from my such surroundings where i find dogs.

Hi sweetie88! I could sympathize with you...dogs are great but I am not brave enough to be hugging them. Well, maybe when they were just puppies but if they get to grow bigger and growl stronger...I get scared also. Anyway, there are really the friendly ones...but it is safer as long as their handlers are with them. Have a nice day!

Hi add_im! I guess, almost all of us have that fear. We are living here temporarily. We can't avoid such loss. So, I guess, we just have to enjoy every minute of each day with those we love and always show them how much they mean to us. And if ever they went before us, the memories we shared with them will always live forever in our hearts. Have a good day!
