Dont fear the fun

Every time I walk out of my front door I see the fear surrounding people.  Some ignore it or just dont let it bother them but most hold on to some kind of fear.  Whether it's something simple like meeting someone new or more complex like heights there's always something inhibiting people from being the full person they can be from achieving their full potential.  

The worst kind of fear is of what someone else may think.  I have gone through a stage, like most, where I thought what everyone else thought was the most important thing ever!  But it's really not.  Now I dont care what anyone else thinks.  Well I do have respect for everyone's opinion since everyone is entitled to one but at the end of the day it's what I think and whether I'm happy that really matters.

The world is full of things we could fear.  The universe is full of things that we could quite simply hide away from, which is kind of what we do since we dont really notice anything outside of our 'bubble' on Earth unless it's on the news.  I mean there are so many huge objects that aren't that far away and with the right kick from Jupiters gravity would come flying straight to Earth and destroy the whole planet.  Sorry if I've scared anyone with that one, that thought does scare me from time to time but the universe is amazing and has a way of finding a balance within the chaos!  And you just have to accept that you have no control over such things just like you have no control over what someone else thinks.

Fear is a natural instinct.  It's natural because we once had preditors to fear like lions (dependant on where about in the world you are) and we didn't really understand the weather (well we barely understand it now but we have a better grasp than in our days of hunter gathering) which is still scary as it can destroy whole landscapes in a matter of seconds.  These are natural fears but we shouldn't create our own fears out of nothing.  It's no fun living in fear as there's always something you're going to be on edge about.

So next time you're doing something and you can feel the fear inside you think about the fun times and the amazing experiences you'll miss if you let the fear take you.  Fear is a good deterrant for doing stupid things ie jumping off a building but it shouldn't get in the way of living your life and having an amazing time whilst you're doing it =)
