My Greatest Fear
I am sure that you have been asked "what is your greatest fear" many times in your life by now. My answers have changed through the years...being alone, death, failure.
I still fear those things and a lot of other things, but there is no ONE thing I fear the greatest. I guess that's just how it is when you grow up and go through so many experiences. However, if I were forced to give an answer to that question, I would have to say that my greatest fear is coming to the point when I have nothing to fear.
I feel that having fears is something that keeps me human. It keeps me grounded but at the same time motivates me to do something beyond my perceived limitations. I feel that the rewards of facing something you fear are incomparable to anything else.
Does this make any sense?
