Freaking Fear

Fear is it a factor for you? I enjoyed today's lecture. It was on fear. Fear plays a bigger role in media than I realized. I hadn't ever gone out searching to discover what I am fearful of. I actually questioned if I was afraid of anything.  Sure I am jumpy or get nervous being in a big house by myself at night,but that is because I watch the news and know that burglars are real.  It is all fear though, so pertains to all people.

I wonder why some people thrill seekers of scary movies, while others cannot stand them. It is interesting how we are all so different.  Interesting too how it develops over time and depending on certain experiences and observations. Also our personalities, again amazing how we are all so different.

It got me thinking what I am fearful of, but I had to stop because then I was too scared of thinking. ha

Faith over fear , right?! 

I was reading this other blog by Andrea Sullenger, she wrote on the topic of fear.
She took on the topic not so much relating to media, but I believe it can apply.

"What do you say it is? Most anyone would admit that fear has played some roll in their life at some point. How about as an entrepreneur, how has fear dictated what you will do and what you won’t do? Fear has a powerful force that can steer us away from what we really want if we let it. Or, if you can evaluate fear for what it really is, you can allow it to propel you into something magical."

She goes onto list ways of how to release fear for good. You can see her rules here!

Last thing, I found this picture that I thought was empowering. Made me think twice about my fears.

I think fear is important and if we were not challenged we would not grow as much. Fear can be that factor that can either hinder us or help us. Just as the two meanings above show.
