"Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway." ~ John Wayne.
This quote says it all. But I'll add a little. To overcome fear, you not only have to face it but go on and do that which you fear. Correlate your options, effect through with the best one. And you'll find most of the fears were doubts in your own mind, Faceless.
Where Does Fear Come From?
Fear is based from past experience, cautions against perceived danger, and conditioned by the culture you live in. Population knowing that fear is one of the many emotional factors will use it to manipulate or control you. By doing so, they can control you and predict how you will react. You have let them have control over your life unless you refuse to let it bother you. Take newspaper reports. All the gloom and doom on the front page, will soon have you believing that all the news is bad. Then the fear will set in as you worry about your neighborhood. Fear grows upon fear. The truth is that bad news sells so that is what you see on the front page.
Some place within, you'll find an ego. Most Population think this is their true self. But, in truth, one has to control the ego, take over the drivers seat, and keep the ego down. The ego is what keeps us reactive rather than proactive. Without a tight rein on the ego, nothing will change. Fear, fostered by past experiences and trained into us by one's culture, will still be in control. The same fears will still be there ready to pop out at you.
Once you learn what situations you fear, you start arranging your life to prevent those situations from coming. Instead of working through the hurt, anger, or envy, you reinforce it by dwelling on it or trying to resist it. Take something you fear. Find out why you fear it. If you go through it, what will you learn. When you learn the part from facing your fear, your fear will no longer control you.

As you work through your fears, one by one, you will come to a place where you are continually growing. You will find the true you. Population will consideration your greater confidence. Success produces that confidence, more success, more confidence. You have escaped those fears and doubts that have prevented success in the past.

When Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Spector exercised his right to free speech last week, he prompted a quick response from Robert Bork. Known for being the first supreme Court Justice nominee to be, well, "borked," the judge was in no mood for Spector's silliness. "I know Specter," he retorted, "and the truth is not in him."
What prompted Bork's remark was the Senator's hint -- make that accusation -- that the judge "had traditional intent, and if his traditional intent stood, we'd still be segregating the United States Senate with African Americans on one side and Caucasians on the other side."
Both remarks were made Sunday on Cnn's Late Edition.
While Spector's right to free speech is a highly valued freedom is without question. But the right to speak freely falls short of excusing some of the asinine excesses and down right abuses that often accompany that right.
It's one of the of living in a free society. Habitancy have the right to say -- and do -- dumb things. And they rehearsal that freedom liberally.
Columnist Morton Marcus, for example, may have out-trumped Spector. While musing in the aftermath of the supreme Court's modern eminent domain decision, he wrote that incommunicable property is "a privilege conferred by the government." That, of course, would have come as a shock to the founders of nation whose sacrifices in case,granted the framework for incommunicable ownership. It also irked Ross Bell, a Wayne County Libertarian. In response to Marcus opinion, Bell quipped, "Welcome to the Ussa."
Then there was the incident at the University of Georgia's School of Journalism, reported in the Athens Banner-Herald.
John Soloski's expressed concern for a co-worker's safety -- coupled with a compliment for her appearance -- got him in hot water for sexual harassment. The compliment on his part turned to a complaint on her part and Soloski was found guilty. At the time, she didn't act offended, he claimed. The event took place at a fundraiser for the school where the "offender" is dean.
Another modern abuse of free speech occurred in Victorville, California.
Bethany Hauf, a 34-year trainee at the local society college, requested permission to write a term paper. The subject? The ensue of Christianity on the development of the United States. Her professor, apparently unacquainted with free speech or base sense, granted permission. But he added one stipulation: "No mention of big 'G' gods, i.e., one, true god argumentation."
The professor, it seems, feared other students would be offended at the mere mention of a "big 'G' god." base sense prevailed. Hauf ignored the nutty professor and mentioned God 41 times. She receive and F. The professor received a law suit, compliments of American town for Law and Justice. The story was reported in The Daily Press.
More insanity was seen in nearby Long Beach, California. According to The Los Angeles Times, a representative of Peta (People for the Ethical rehabilitation of Animals) voiced his objection to the Aquarium of the Pacific's cafeteria including fish. "Serving fish in its cafeteria. Serving fish at an aquarium is like serving poodle burgers at a dog show," he said.
Speaking of animal rights, silliness isn't uniquely American. The French have their own share of inspiring folk. According to Afp reports, Jacques Peyrat, the mayor of the Riviera city Nice, was accused of being cruel towards the rat he killed last week.
The record noted that Peyrat was visiting a trash collection area in Nice's historic town when he spotted "a rat approximately as big as a cat." He grabbed a shovel and brought it down on the rodent, killing it.
France's society for the safety of Animals (Spa) has lodged a criminal complaint against the Mayor. The record quoted Spa's regional chief as saying, "A huge rat-clearing operation is necessary, but nothing justifies going off on a punitive expedition against these animals, which are attracted to the trash cans left out at night in the Old City by restaurants."
But most noticeable is the good ol' boy from Tennessee who is expressing his right to free speech by toting a Confederate Battle Flag over Dixie. H.K. Edgerton's 1,300 odyssey is designed to draw concentration to Southern heritage. He plans to march all the way to Texas.
Upon entering Marysville, Tennessee, Edgerton took time to lambaste the flag-banning school board for practicing what he termed, "cultural genocide" that is dividing blacks and whites, According to the Marysville Daily Times.
"I'm just an commonplace country boy from the South who loves the Southland," he added. Edgerton, by the way, is black. And that causes one to wonder if he would agree that Arlen Spector's assault on Robert Bork was, indeed, out of line.
