What are you afraid of? What makes you worry?
What am I afraid of? It’s a question that I often just blow off and say, “nothing”. Oh, maybe a little fear of heights or standing on a higher rung of a ladder. Ok, maybe I am a little fearful that I might contract cancer or something before I have a chance to see all my kids married or grandkids grow up. Well, maybe I’m a little scared that something will happen to my wife and I would have to live my life and would be so lost without her. Maybe there is a bit of fear that I can’t find work to provide for my family. Or that we won’t be able to move closer to our kids...or, or, or. The truth is, there are a lot of things that I’m afraid of. Until I face them, I can’t defeat them. I think the first step in moving beyond our fears is identifying what they are. And, until I spent a few minutes identifying them right now, I didn’t realize how many there are in my life.
