Being fearful about something can manipulate your mind to thinking of things that aren't actually present. Fear can get to the best of us at times and can make a person feel small and alone, even though they’re in a group with others facing the same situation.

In Paulo Coelho’s book, The Alchemist, he demonstrates that people should let go of their fears in order to succeed in life.

It took strength to overcome those fears and take the necessary steps to be able to pursue his Personal Legend and find his treasure.

I can related to both Santiago and the crystal merchant in that sometimes I have fears that interfere with my goals.

Most of the time in life, fear gets the most of people and plays a huge role into scaring people even though it is just their mind playing games with them. An example of this is in the book Lord Of The Flies by William Golding. In Lord Of The Flies the kids get scared of things called “Beasties” and during one of the first sightings a little boy said, “A snake thing. Ever so big. I saw it. It is a beastie” (Golding 35). All of the kids were scared of the beastie but they got through it with hope. Like the little boy, a survivor needs hope to get through all of the harsh things that life puts on one. With Hope, Beasties are turned into shadows of the past and are cut away from one's

Every person faces fear at a point in their life, or even on an everyday basis. What a person fears shows their inner thoughts as well as unresolved emotions they might have. Martin Antony writes in his novel When Perfect Isn’t Good Enough, “Generally, fears are influenced by both our biological and genetic makeup, as well as our experiences.”(Anthony 177, When Perfect Isn’t Good Enough). While the things people fear are influenced by personal experiences, that same fear be an influence in their life. Fear can influence the way a person feels, the way a person thinks, and the way a person acts. While fear can motivate a person to overcome struggles they may face, other people may have a negative reaction which causes them to withdraw from a situation.

Whether you're afraid of everything under the sun, or fearless everyone has had the feeling of fear overcome I believe anyone can overcome a fear. I have overcome a few fears in my life and believe with determination anyone can. I've been afraid of heights my entire life and overcoming that fear took years. I never thought it was possible for me to be in a roller coaster until that one day I was in a situation that made me surpass my fear. I've been afraid of heights since I can remember. Some people will scream and cry whenever they are far up in the air. To a person without that fear it may seem funny that being afraid of heights is childish stuff, but to me it's not. I personally am not a person to freak out about heights anymore since I finally conquered it by getting on a ton of rides and just letting it

I have often wondered what it felt like knowing to overcome a fear of mine, till the day I did. It was a long dark night when I felt the urge to get up and leave the house. I got up and got dressed and left my house, driving in my car. I stopped to obtain a little gas right down the road from my house when I realized a person was standing right behind me, he was as large as the jolly green giant. My heart instantly started beating faster, I have never been more scared in my life. He looked and asked where Red Bud was. After I realized he was asking me where Red Bud was, I got in my car and started driving off. As I got back on the road, I started thinking to myself that it was in Alton and it was in the middle of nowhere, my heart started

I am aware that everyday has unexpected and unknown aspects, and things do not always work out. But I strive to be focused to repair and overcome bad situations, because fear of the positive things in life can affect my long-term dreams. I will achieve my dreams, though setting goals, working hard, and having a good sense of myself. Fear is a weakness that is a natural feeling, but can be overcome by strength. Fear will not take over my strengths in time of weakness, if I ignore unimportant details and try my best, taking advantage of all opportunities in life will come by easier.

Through my years of living I never knew that fear would be on of my major problems. Fear is the reason why I have changed very much, never actually thought that one emotion can change your whole life. Back at the time when I was still a little girl I never actually cared or even thought about the things around me. I was always happy until when I started growing up and started opening my eyes more. Little by little i started to realize everything around me, every situation or even drama that would happen between friendships. Between me I was scared that maybe one day it would happen to me and my best friend.

There have been many instances in my life where the fear monster has stared me down or hides in the dark corner of my mind, menacing me every chance it gets. It tells me things like, you will never be good enough or something bad will happen if you take a chance. Every time I try to plant some seeds of courage, by telling myself everything is going to be ok and you can do this, fear swoops in and washes them all away. Fear has been the negative force in my life, effecting a lot of important decisions I 've had to make. There was a moment in my life where I was able to gather the courage to forge through the fear and decided to go back to college.

It’s crazy to think that fear can get the best of someone. When you are in fear, you normally don’t do what you normally do because it’s something you are not used to. It can take control over your life and affect you in many different ways. People always tell you that you actually have to do what you fear the most to overcome the horror. Fear normally happens when someone overthinks a situation or even a object. When you turn fear on, it is very similar to turning on a light switch, you start thinking of the worse case scenarios. For me, my fear was heights. Now, I know most people have a fear of heights which is why some people won’t climb a mountain, fly in the air, or even ride a rollercoaster. Luckily, I am one of those people who are
