FEAR

Fear paralyses – absolute fear paralyses absolutely.  It can’t always be rationalised for it is often irrational.  The face of fear has many masks but our fears must be faced if we are to be free to live a life worth living.

‘I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear’ – Nelson Mandela

‘We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light’ – Plato

So what fears are you facing?  Are they long-standing fears that have dogged your life from childhood or are they the dogs that began to stalk the corridors of your adult mind?
