What frightens you?

That is a very thoughtful and sincere comment. I understand exactly what you mean about the fear of being a failure. For me, that is par for the course as a perfectionist. The key I have found is that all things happen for a reason and that we must learn to accept things as they are without difficulty. High aspirations go a long way, even if from time to time you find yourself unable to reach them. The point is to atleast have goals to reach for and to live as intentionally as possible. As for the loss of loved ones and not being alone when we get old, I think everyone from all walks of life can identify with that. Sometimes my thoughts come to rest squarely on the cold hard fact that life is empty and fleeting. All I can do is learn to let go, even when the time comes for us to fade away, as a sunset or a buring ember. What more is there to life than but one fleeting moment which we can never truly grasp. There is nothing really to be gained in life. We leave everything behind when we depart this life, except hopefully a legacy of affecting in a positive manner. Thank you very much for your touching remarks. I wish you strength in letting go when the time comes.

Spiders make my skin crawl as well (no pun intended). And losing loved ones is one of life's true tests of resiliency. Sometimes the going gets so rough, it can become a struggle to life your head high. All we can do is celebrate the lives of our loved ones. Thank you, Shelly for commenting on my post. I will return the favor shortly.

Doesn't that just suck too when you find that there's really no way about it, no way to overcome that fear? I'm sorry, dude, but I certainly hope you still get out and enjoy nature! Thank you for the response!

What do you do to help yourself recover from the dizziness. Do you think of other things to try to take your mind off of it, or is it just too much to handle? Thanks for the response. Wanna go skydiving sometime? NOT!
