Free Post: The Road

          We all share something in common, we all have fears. Whether it’s caused from an insect like a spider, the fear of change or the fear of the unknown; we all have underlying insecurities. It’s how we deal with our fear that sets us apart. Many people go through life allowing their feelings of insecurity to overcome their dreams and desires. We can go through life living in complete and utter fear, but in doing so we allow our insecurities to block us from achieving our goals. On the other hand there are the people that use their insecurities to push them even harder to achieve their goals. The road to overcome a fear or insecurity may be long and difficult, but it is so worth the trip. One fear of mine is public speaking. I remember one day coming in to class and being so afraid because I knew I had to present a report in front of the class. I came to the realization that I would have to confront my fear one way or another. So I decided to end my fear by volunteering myself to present first. My little insecurity pushed me to overcome my fear. The best of it all was the fact that I did not let my fear deter me from  accomplishing what I had to do. It feels so good to overcome something that has been holding you back for so long. So who are you? The person who lets heights stop them from enjoying themselves, or are you the person riding that roller coaster. Don't let your fears hold you back; just go with it.
