Fear. How can so simple an
emotion have so much power? Fear can
evoke a whole range of emotions and can make a man do things he never thought
possible. Fear can make a grown man
cower like child scared of the dark, and it can give an all but fallen warrior
the fighting chance to survive. It can
give an entire race known for its ruthless ways the power to dominate countless
lesser races just for fear of what may come from acting against them.
I’ve
spent my whole life trying to understand this powerful emotion known simply as
fear. Decades of training, both physical
and mental, have helped me to unlock the potential hidden under the surface of
this paralyzing beast. I have learned to mold fear into an advantage instead of
a hindrance. Along with fear comes a
rush of adrenaline and a heightened sense of awareness to your
surroundings. It gives you an edge that
will push you to your limits and give you the needed skill to survive.
Some
say there is nothing to fear but fear itself.
I do not agree. To the contrary,
I feel that fear is something to embrace.
It has walked with me down many dark paths and has led me to many places
I could not have been without it. It has
led me to victory in battle, warned me of impending danger, and held me in
check when I would have jumped in over my head.
No,
fear is no enemy of mine--I have enough of those already—it is my guide along the path of
life. I welcome it's companionship.
