There's something about taking a thought as far out as it can go that really revs me up.

A Lesson on Fear
It attacks slowly; it sneaks under your red flag radar and continues to dig into an already too powerful paranoia of missed experiences. Before you know it, you’ve developed a fear of something and a complex to go with it. Now you’re stuck; now you only see what you cannot do and why you cannot. You begin blaming everyone and everything for your fear.
This is my question: who says this “thing” is something to fear? I mean, it’s scary right? But why? What makes it so scary you can’t get past it? I hate when I burn myself but, I’m not afraid to; I don’t avoid all hot things. This is where my head goes. Follow me on this: why am I not afraid of burning myself? Well, it’s not likely that I will. Why isn’t it? Well, I know how to handle myself around….hot…..things? Silly, yes, but seemingly I find the best answers are simple, dare I say, remedial things. I know how to handle myself in a “hot” situation because I was taught the necessary steps to ensure I knew what I was doing. THAT’S IT, ISN’T IT? BAM! Right there…I said it: I know how to do it.
So now, when I am afraid of something I’m forced to the point of honesty:
Alpha: Why does this scare you?
Alphuh: Because I don’t know what I’m doing!
Alpha: Then learn and move on
Facts: Study, learn, move forward, and allow fear to be a foreign feeling.
