Fear

When I remember the first time I witnessed myself being afraid of things I start to notice a pattern with my actions. I always used to avoid the situations or people because, of how I felt being afraid. Now, having grown older I do not feel the same necessarily about my reactions to the same situations. My feelings are similar but, I have learned that "Nothing in life is to be feared it is only to be understood" ~Maria Curie. I understand that there will always be the unknown and it is how you approach that unknown. Have you ever felt similarly? How do you handle fear? What gives you the ability to press forward among fear?
