The
main
point
in the game
of life
is to have
fun.
We
are afraid
to have
fun because
somehow
that makes
life too
easy.
- Sammy Davis, Jr. |

| We
live in a world that thrives on
fear. Fear of living, fear
of dying; fear of having too
much, fear of not having enough.
When people find out weaknesses
we become fearful of them.
If we demonstrate our strength,
people become fearful of us.
Fear is an accepted way of life.
We are fearful our past will be
repeated. We are fearful
that we have no chance in the
future. We are fearful of
one another. We are
fearful of those who are fearful
of us. When we allow fear
to control our daily lives we
run the risk of remaining where
we don't want to be -- in fear.
We must confront the things we
fear, people and situations,
believing the spirit of *The
Creator is with us. By
doing the very thing we fear, we
tap into a force that directs
and protects us, unleashing the
power that has brought us this
far. When we give in to
our fears and avoid taking
chances, it is unlikely we will
ever overcome the very things we
fear. |

As
my sense of
power
increases, my fear
about life
decreases. |
