Fears

I heard someone say something on TV that I liked.  They said, “you don’t just need to face your fears, you need to defeat them.”
I totally think facing my fears is a good first step.  We have a guy that visits across the road and he has on his car “are you ok?”  I like that though it all depends on the answer.  Someone who is unwilling to admit a problem will not acknowledge a problem.
But it is one thing to admit to fear and another to have something lasting done to deal with it.  I think there are lots of tried solutions and it is the goal to me that cannot be forgotten.  The goal is to get rid of the fear.
I cannot remember if I mentioned it but I heard of a lady that would not do so much as she expressed fears as to why she should not.  A lady saw her and declared, “why not do it scared?”  That to me may not be an easy thing to do but I do think it is a good start.
It may mean being willing to not travel roads that have been travelled in the past.  A diet thing.  It seems to me to be no good to want to get rid of fear but to continue to do the thing that causes the fear.  Counterproductive.  A short term fix.
Someone may like horror movies.  That sort of thing feeds fears to me.  There does come a sort of immunity to it and it seems more and more is needed to have the same affect.  Like so much really.
Fear is common to all.  It goes from being heathy (at the ready) to unhealthy when it is believed and prevents necessary action.
It really all depends on what I want and how much I want it.  I will defeat my fears if they prevent me from doing what I feel to do.  The cost can be high but it my mind it is worth it.
