Fears

I was talking about fears with my friend today. It made me think. We all have our fears, I am afraid of spiders for example, yesterday I was planning to take a shower and stepped in a bathroom when I suddenly noticed a big spider in the ceiling. I stepped back and didn't take a shower because I was afraid that it will fall on me. I gave up, I surrended to my fear.

I also fear calling to people that I don't know. I always think - what will I say, how will I introduce myself? I've been sitting in front of this computer for fiew hours thinking how to call to one movie guy,we need him to make a documentary movie. I just know his name and phone number. Nothing else. I think I will do it tomorrow. I'm escaping.

On the other hand, doesn't it feel great when you have ignored your fear and done the thing that in the beginning felt somehow.. scary, but in reality was nothing. The person on the other side of the phone sounded really nice and polite.

Only through that we grow. By facing our fears. After having to call to strangers about 5 times, you're not scared anymore and it even feels natural and you don't think what to say or how to begin the conversation.

Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.
