Fear.
When did it creep in? Why does it creep in? What is it about being early to mid 30's that suddenly makes you resistant to doing new things? Is it only women that have this or do men reach a point too?
I love new things.
So why the fear associated with that?
I was speaking to woman on the ski lift about this subject. She was newly 40, and her two kids were in snowboarding lessons. She decided to learn with them and thus she was in my adult class. We talked briefly about how it was “now or never” for her about learning this new sport. We both hated the fear that seems to just settle in and exist inside your psyche.
I realize that always in life, the true battle rages within.
This is definitely in that category.
I will continue my raging battle with this entity and I know I will overcome it. I did today on the slopes.
I did also with my motorcycle as I was fairly terrified when I first got Moose. But holy crap I love that bike. And although I have a healthy fear when riding, it is of the other drivers, not of my bike.
Fear can be overcome and I don't want it or anything else to limit my life that way.
I am just not ready to roll over and give up.
Fear, be banished!

Oops...I meant to post that comment on a different post of yours; not the one on fear. What I said doesn't pertain much to fear. But I'm so glad to hear that you are determined to get rid of its foot hold. :)
