You just gotta love TFP ask a simple, shallow question and get a flood of well thought, informative responses that take the conversation all over the place and really make you think. Good stuff folks I enjoyed reading it.
I guess like most I'm somewhere in the middle, its odd because I can be incredibly reckless often times putting very little thought into the dangers of what I'm doing and yet other times I'm carefully weighing the consequences of my actions and deciding weather or not I'm up for it. I do try steer clear of worrying about the unknown or letting irrational fears get the best of me when it comes to having fun or trying something new, so I guess within reason I tend to not let fear get in the way of just enjoying life the way I want to.
On the other hand, like others I seem to have a fear of failure, not so much because I have to succeed but rather because I don't want to mess up what I've achieved or have to start over from scratch. The fear or making the wrong decision often leads to me not wanting to take chances in my professional life and always sticking with the safe bet. I've always felt that's held me back, yet as long as I'm successful enough to get by and pay my bills I'm kind of okay with not taking the big chances. I do find it a little strange that I'm fearful of losing my livelihood but not quiet so fearful of losing my life...
Maybe that cancels out my first point or maybe we all have aspects of our lives where fear does paralyze us and others where it isn't much of an issue.
