Fear! The Verdict Is In–She’s an Eagle!
The Eagle takes Flight
I ended the first blog about Fear with the question,
‘Would I be a chicken or an eagle?’
Well folks, the verdict is in.

The Challenge
As you recall in the post entitled “Fear” I shared with you a fear of mine, the fear of heights. Although many people have phobias, a natural occurrence, fear can be crippling thereby controlling. I wanted to face this fear. I decided to face that fear by jumping out of an airplane. It’s easy to challenge yourself in your head but feeling it’s okay to back out later because no one heard you say you would do it. So I put myself and my word on the line and told you that I would go skydiving.

Fear – What is it?
Fear Imprisons
Fear imprisons and controls its captive. Physiologically, fear is the unpleasant emotion that signals our brain to produce the adrenaline we need to remove ourselves from a perceived threat. The common reaction to which is either a flight, fight or freeze response.
Psychologically, fear is relinquishing control to the object of your fear where the object now has power over you. You may say, but what if it is something that can cause great harm or even death, does it not have power? The late Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were fully aware of their possible outcomes. Yet their belief in their cause overpowered the foreboding dread of what could happen.
