Knowing how to overcome fear is very important in life, as most of the fear problems arise due to the feeling of insecurity and uncertainty, resulting into frustrations. Although difficulties and worries occur in everybody's life, all of them do not give bad experiences, like educating your children, managing daughters marriage and looking after your old parents.

Do YOU have the COURAGE to CHANGE? What a week it has been with the momentous event which unfolded in America when millions of people decided that they wanted a change and had the courage of their convictions to do their bit to bring about that change. In this article I am going to explore the different faces of courage.

"Boo" was a high-school stand out in Memphis, Tennessee. He had a tremendous stroke and played the game with a fire and passion. His dream was to play at Mississippi State. During his senior year "Boo" completely blew out his knee. Teams that had been calling stopped. Coaches who had been watching "Boo's" team play quit coming to the games.

"If you're here for four more years or four more weeks, you're here right now. I think when you're somewhere, you ought to be there. It's not about how long you stay in a place, it's about what you do while you're there, and when you go, is that place any better for your having been there?"

"Go to your bosom; Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know."

"Every big problem was at one time a wee disturbance."

What is our self? Our inner being or me that perceives the world and deciphers our experience. Our self is continuous in time as a force that recognizes its own position.

Like love scenes on the Silver Screen, the ongoing search for one's soul mate seems to be a matter of great importance. All around me, people go on and on about finding their soul mate and living happily ever after once (s)he is found. It makes me wonder why so many people believe this is the answer to their woes. It makes me wonder why so few seem to understand that their search for this soul mate is really second to their search for Self. Perhaps it is yet another fairy tale brought to us by Hollywood 'visionaries' who know how deeply so many long for such a love. A bit of meandering about soul mates may offer a new perspective on just how easy it is to feel good.
