Conquering Fears

I think a large part of life has to do with conquering fears. I remember being afraid of the dark when I was young, and just suddenly one day I did not want to fear anymore. So I woke up in the middle of the night and started walking about in the house without switching on the lights, and I was no longer scared. And that has always been my way of conquering fears, to find a day of immense courage and do the feared. Like my fear of drawing, fear of speaking to a crowd, fear of physical exhaustion, fear of the unknown, fear of heights, fear of appearing stupid to someone I am attracted to, fear of unhappiness, and the fear of failing. The worst is death and we all have to conquer the fear of death someday.
