Are you controlled by fear?

    I need to ask everyone a question. Please don't answer unless you're completely honest.

    Do you ever let the fear of something control how you live? It may be the fear or dying or the fear of standing out in public or looking stupid in front of the people you know. It may even be a fear of the dark.

    How do these things control your life and what could you accomplish if you didn't have this fear?

    I think living out of my comfort zone would be awesome. There's nothing you fear and there's nothing you can't accomplish.

    only thing we have to fear is the fear itself

    Yes i used to fear the test during my university live.
    But after i have attend some motivation talk,then i get rid of the fear entirely.
    Even until now,i don't fear anything such as get fired by boss etc.

    I think we all let fear control our lives. I fear of getting a DUI so I don't drink and drive. I'm not exactly thrilled about dying so I try to take care of myself. You get the point. I necessarily don't think fear is a bad thing. I think it is apart of ou survival mechanisms that keep us going strong.

    Many fears control our lives. We should eliminate them or they will ruin us.

    Know and isolate your fear and it's power over you will be diminished.

    Seriously here, one of the biggest fears I have, is the fear of going BLIND...

    Never to see a beautiful girl again...
    Never to see the sun rise, or set again...
    Never to see the dew drops on a crimson red rose...

    Do you get the picture of that fear?

    Be Well!

    Conquer fear with prayer! Anytime I feel this feeling coming on...I pray and meditate. It works every time.

    Peace!

    I get to fullfil my dream is enough, of course my dream is not that exotic..
    And, I do have many other fear, such as..
    - Being alone all the time..
    - Having weird nightmare [it fear me, my whole 12 y.o]..
    - Getting old before I can complete anything..

    The only fear I have is not living life the way I want to and letting myself be controlled.

    i used to live afraid of what might happen now I just don't care and do what I want it is a very liberating thing.
