Fears.

There is no one without fears. Fear of the darkness, fear of heights, fear of water, fear of closed spaces. Some fear the elements and still others fear the living. I have known people who have hunted down a wild bear and have cowered, knocked knees and pissed their pants in front of their own father!!! Most of us fear the unknown. 'Unknown' could be ghosts, aliens landing on planet earth, paranormal activity and even the force we call 'God'. Fear of unknown could also mean fear of what would happen in future, to self, family, friends. It is perhaps, fear which keeps us alive, which helps us be cautious, take preventive steps before danger leaps out and takes its chances. When fear takes command, for a moment, you cannot move, nor can you think.

Fears can also hamper our progress. It is said that to achieve success you have to conquer your fears, first. And for that you have to face your fears, face it and stare right back at it, and fight it and vanquish it!! This is easier said than done. isnt it? But then what isnt?
