Fear is a Four Letter Word

It lies waiting, haunting us all; eagerly anticipating that next opportunity to raise its evil head and keep us from achieving our goals. It is that great divide, separating legendary immortality from the banal existence of the common man. And it's there, everywhere. From the basic act of not stepping on a crack in the sidewalk to the weeks of endless indecision staring into the dark abyss that is tomorrow -- it's there.

And we all know this.

Yet I continue to deny its existence, choosing instead to ignore it. Go around it. Bury it.
But the simple truth of the matter is that inaction is worse than death. Fear is reduced to nothing when juxtaposed against the alternative: a lifetime of mediocrity. Do you choose greatness?

Fear is a nasty four-letter word that I have overcome by just dealing with situations. Certain circumstances can be downright embarrassing; however, if one is to be true oneself, then fear is something that must be eradicated!

Some of the best adventures I've experienced in my life happened because I overcame fear. Just face the demons. The worst thing that can happen is you end up where you are today.... before you decided to face fear.
