Meeting My Fears Head On

We all have them.  Fears that is.  Some may hide their fears well or barrel through them but few of us can say we have no fears.  So what are these monsters that rear their head?  Seems to me mostly they are obstacles, plain and simple, obstacles to our happiness.  Created in our thoughts and perpetuated by our beliefs.  So I am taking time to explore my fears.  Writing them down and staring them right in the eye.  I made myself a promise to walk straight into my fears and move past them.  One at a time.  Safely, knowingly and secure in the knowledge that I do not walk alone.
