I'm not afraid of changes. OR..... do I just try and convince myself of that? Do I really mean it when I say "fear is the mind killer"? I guess conquering fear is a life-long process, kind of like being a perfect person. A long, long road.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I try to remind myself to not live in fear. Fear of the stranger that might rip my purse off my arm in the parking lot at Walmart. Fear that my children will be in a fatal carwreck. It is hard to conquer fear, unfortunately we live in a world that isn't as safe as it use to be. Or maybe it's always been the same, we just hear about it in the media. But I try hard not to live in fear of what may happen. It's hard.
