It seemed like 3 miles, and in actuality it was 20 yards. But as a kid to take out the trash, I had to walk down 3 flights of stairs, unlock the deadbolt, walk to the alley (after going through a underpass which was another coach house) drop off the trash and return to safety. I could do this in 3.6 seconds flat. Not because I was looking for a good time, but because I was motivated by fear. I just read a fascinating article in the times (GO HERE):

It talks of a patient they named SM. SM is unique because she has ZERO fear. So I had to ask myself, "What would I do if I had Zero fear". Which then led to "Why do I let fear stop me from anything?" (my mind is complicated). Heres that "pregnant" sentence that gave birth to my wonderings in the article:e:
"Her lack of fear has many times caused her to place her own life in danger".
If your a believer, you know the bible says "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline".
So if GOD didn't give it to us, Someone (thing) did. Cause it's there. Whether your a believer, a dreamer, a visionary, or just plain human. You should NEVER "allow" something that God himself did not give you to stop you from anything...EVER.
Ask yourself this question: If you were like "SM" and had no fear, what would you have done/do differently? What job would you have taken? where would you have moved? What career path would you have changed at a moments notice? What girl/guy would you have spoken to? W
Top Tip to fight fear:
**Kill the gut (that feeling you get, never allow it to make a single decision for you). If your only answer is "because I'm scared". Do it. Create a process to kill it.

So is the way to combat fear, to LIVE DANGEROUSLY? hmmmm? The more danger the less fear?
