Part of becoming a stronger person meant committing myself, as much as I could, to living without fear.  I have always been more afraid than the average person.  As a child, I was afraid of the dark and couldn’t sleep with the closet door open without a light on.  I was also afraid of deep water, clowns, bees, and my father. 

I have noticed that in the last few years I've become more and more afraid of an increasing number of things.  In turn, I've become progressively more stagnant and stuck, and I believe it is because I am allowing my fears to rule me.  So, I resolved that year to free myself from my fears, to not allow them to restrain me any longer.  I had to go and open my big mouth
