virgin-burner 1 #1 May 20, 2010 I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.. Only I will remain. ♥“Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is fear that urges us to focus and therefore performing our best. Uncontrolled fear is deadly for in that state fear will cause us to revert to our basic instincts, some of which will allow the worst to happen. It is uncontrolled fear that contolls us instead of us controlling it.

virgin-burner 1 #22 May 21, 2010 Quote Fear Builds Courage! fear FINDS the courage in us; for if there was no fear, most of us wouldnt have found the passion that shines through us! i used to climb a lot; and i STILL maintain a GREAT FEAR of heights, still, to this very day.. but getting out at 13k is kind of so unreal, it starts to get ridicilous.. and yes, if our fear starts to shine through us, we'll be enlightened, sooner or later.. yet, we try to get better at this activity/past-time of ours.. and with every jump, it just gets better and better.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
