Your Fears Will Catch Up With You

People have many fears in a various of different things, for example, heights, the dark, snakes, spiders, and so much more. But on October 13th, 2015 people will be facing their fears on National Face Your Fears Day. This day was created by Steven Hughes to help people identify, face and overcome their fears. It is always celebrated on the second Tuesday of October, and was started on October 7th, 2004.

This day is to, of course, face your fears. Hughes believes that you should just go for it and encourage others to as well. I find this day interesting because it is the day to challenge yourself to do something you’d never want to do in your life, and what keeps your life hostage. Imagine how your life would be if you conquered some of your greatest fears. You wouldn't have to worry about the things you are afraid of because you would have faced, and overcome them. If one day I could face my fears of falling, and go sky diving, cliff jumping, or even going on a huge roller coaster. I can only imagine how much stress would be relieved, and how much more things I would be able to do if I could just conquer my fear of falling.

This day would be an amazing day to put yourself out there, and challenge yourself to face these things that haunt your life. It would be a huge change to many people’s life. As this day gets closer, write 3 things you fear, and try to conquer them on this coming October 13th. Even if you may fear, trying to conquer or face your fears, it would always be a good challenge. You are held captive by your fears, and this day will be the day you can step up, have courage, and do your best to face them.
