I was thinking to post this in the general discussion forums, but i think i would have a better audience here, even if it does not get any response.

Throughout my life i have found that the best way to defeat fear (any kind of fear), is just to face straight, and not to try go around the branches.
For instance when i was a child i was deadly afraid of darkness. I need to sleep with a small light at night. When i reached 12 I decided that I had to turn off that light, and see what happened.
At the beginning ofcourse I was scared as hell, but the minutes were passing by and I realize everything was in my mind. Since then I have tried to apply the same in all the fear situations in my life.
I'm not saying I'm fearless, but I have the peace to know that everything is in my mind. And most importantly I have the strongest back up ever, so I'm sure He has my back.
Though, i still have some fears for example I can't stand the idea that I won't be able to provide for my family (which I don't have yet).
But when the time is right I will face it, and the fear will be gone as my fear of darkness.
Let's just remember that most of our fear are just in our minds.

That's right my friend. Fear starts in the mind, and has to be delt with in the mind. and put to rest in the mind.

now i'll go mind my own business.

it is. the main thing is to remember is that life is an upwards journey and not downwards
even when sometimes it seems we are going down.
