Skydiving! Some Fears Are Definitely Worth Facing
The alarm was set for six … as if that was necessary. I was awake long before, in fact, I’m not too sure I even slept. Today is the day I’m going to face a bad fear – which by my definition is simply a fear I want to overcome – a fear of skydiving.

Maybe You Shouldn’t Set Goals After All
Surprisingly enough, setting goals may actually hinder your chances of life-long success! Let me begin by saying that goal setting is wickedly effective. In other words, if you desire an outcome, and make it a goal, the odds are extremely likely that you’ll achieve it. And therein lies the problem. Let me explain. If you decide you want to drive your car from your house to the city, that’s a goal. You likely don’t give it a second thought. You just decide and then execute. We all set and achieve hundreds of these kinds of goals every day. These are not the goals I’m referring to.

The Natural Fear of Listening
A major barrier to listening to another person, without interruption, is the notion that silence may condone agreement. If someone is talking and we nod or indicate that we’re listening by saying “uh-huh,” a common fear is that the speaker may confuse our failure to object with our agreement. The speaker may even suddenly switch topics under the delusion that you share his view, which lays the setting for a future irresolvable argument.

60 cigarettes a day! How I quit!
I thought smoking sixty cigarettes a day was just about the limit of human endurance until I started to wake up at night to “enjoy” just one more! I took up smoking when I was fourteen and by the age of sixtee I was a “committed” smoker. Within three years I had managed to ratchet my daily intake of cigarettes to two packs per day, and by the time I was twenty-one, I was up to three packs a day.
