Fear not! Yes I have managed to piece together. or maybe you should fear that. it is you who is the reader.

In this environment of Steemit you must take an attitude like so. A positive outlook to the possibilities of what dreams can build.
That makes everything sound so easy. it is not meant to. It is merely an outlook if you are in Steemit you should keep to mind. Unless you are a gambler or experienced market trader, risking the finances of others or have money the loss of is not a big deal. Steemit is a long term goal.

The risks of trading put a fear clasp on my wallet. That fear is somewhat reduced in Steemit. The risk of loss is brought way down by no need for finance investment. Time is needed though and this can be the biggest fear to most with Steemit, If I quit my job? Will I earn enough to live? What if the price drops too much? All pot-holes in the road of dreams. Fear forks our road at times from where we would like to go to where we can see we are able to get.

I am facing fear head on in my own Steemit ambitions. Climbing a mountain of fear. I have had a few pats' on the back, telling me I have done well to keep at it, some are impressed with what we have gained. That itself is rewarding that someone is watching. It also feel's like being pushed off a Cliff. I do all this in fear of failing, and each pat on the back is just pushing me toward the edge of the Cliff. I say that more so in Jest. The fear lies in no one is holding me back. Well except Mr Finance and we are generating to combat that. Middle finger to fear of finance.

An even bigger fear is succeeding. what to do when that happen's. Who will be my moral compass. How many of the original people who helped me start will still be here to help me again? How many would have the time? Would they help again? Which directions to go first and which way to go about it?
There is so many more options to fear making an error on with success. With fear of loss, You lose you lost its over. Success Brings avenue after lanes, roads that lead no where and places you need to build bridges. As long as we get more right than wrong, we are good right?

I think there is some psychology to fear too. I am not a head doctor and I am not qualified to talk on this. I do not fear my opinion though. Fear gets instilled in some cases by treatment or disregard for others.
I do not mean this in abusive way. I mean it is instilled through education. Let us take for example, a spider.
Some spiders, there is dayum good reason to fear them. Some can leave nasty bites infections in extreme cases death. Yea cuddling up with a spider I can see why they are not everyone's best bed time story.

Another one would be snakes. More a defensive creature than offensive in most instance. They are cold to the touch though, and they do like to cuddle up to you for some body heat.
In both these cases, much of the fear is passed from our parents. Not an intentional thing. Mom or Pop freaks out when a spider is around the young one learns that's what you do when you see a spider. A fear is developed through mimicry. I have seen parents many times in the pet store, Squirming and making faces and the animals they fear. This is passed on to their children in many cases.

What ever we fear. In some ways we can change it.
I mention failure and success as a cause of fear earlier in the post. That both I fear in some way or another. When starting this project, I had a fear am I starting something too big for me to handle, am I over-reaching. Well probably, we don't know yet. Probably not as we are progressing.
I came in with the ambition of creating one great big honey pie and we could all get a nice slice.
First nope it didn't go that way. The price began to fall and it appeared my failure fear was going to come banging on the door. A bit disheartening, saying the least, but my goal was still the same nothing had changed there. the only thing was do I give in to this fear that I failed or keep going.

Keep going was the thought, I will walk to the next village and see what is there. Maybe I can meet up with someone going my way. Sure if I am going to make this massive pie I am going to need too much ingredients for one to carry. It turns out in that village I found a few fellow travellers.

It was better to carry on, than to let fear take control. Now there is company along the journey. Together we can share and diminish the fear a fellow traveller may have. If you fear snakes and spiders, I will pick them up and move them from your path. If you fear pie, fear not, I will eat your slice. Maybe some of our fears can be overcome. Just by being around others. Maybe others chase our fears away.

For myself, my biggest fear is myself. I do not like violence, it not only brings scar's to your skin, also to your emotions. Some emotions should not be cut with such a blunt instrument. I do not fear the violence itself. The thoughts I have when up against violence is, Oh F, How do I avoid this and this is going to hurt.

The problem with violence is, it is self feeding, it generates a negative feedback in a person which amplifies. Besides the pain after, I do not fear the violence itself. I half fear what I might do in such a time. My fear lies not there though. My fear lies mostly in I could live with the violence I might inflict.
One fear I do not want to over-come.
