Accept or Overcome?


I firmly believe each of us has a purpose for being here. We are all students and teachers. For the past few years I have believed my mission in life is to overcome fear. I mentioned this at my last meeting with the wise Scotsman. He brought up an important piece of information. Fear is not something to overcome. Fear in and of itself is not the problem. The problem lies in how it is dealt with.

Fear teaches us to keep safe and protect ourselves. It can also prevent us from stepping out of our boundaries endangering our security. That is what it comes down to in the end for me. I want to feel secure in a world which is by nature insecure.

I am open to suggestions.
