Fears.

 Throughout History Fear has been used by great leaders - with bad intentions - to do horrible things. Its an incredible incubator for action. Fear has driven both the car of success and doom.  Fears, crazy little shadows that play with ones mind... They have this nifty way of affecting my ability  to live various aspects of life.
A friend the other day in a sort of random way (well its probably only random because i cannot remember the conversation before this) said that they were afraid of the dark. I asked maybe one or two questions but pretty much dropped the topic. I keep kicking myself for it though, because think about it what does it take to admit fears ?
  We all have fear and yet we live a mask of a life that says "I'm Okay".  It takes courage to open up, be honest and say what terrifies me. And yet more recently I have found it is easier in someways just to be honest. Just to open up and say what you need to say,  get it out.  Then be strong and courageous enough to pick up the pieces and face the fears and drive them, instead of the other way around.

Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.
Mark Twain
