Fear

What is fear?  according to wikipedia--- Fear is an emotion induced by a perceived threat which causes entities to quickly pull far away from it and usually hide. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus which is perceived as a risk of significant loss of health, wealth, status, power, security or of anything held valuable. In short, fear is a motivating force arising from the ability to recognize danger leading to an urge to confront it or flee from it (also known as the fight-or-flight response) but in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) a freeze or paralysis response is possible.

Why fear you ask?  Fear keeps us or most of us, at times, from doing or feeling what we feel is right or what we must. We think of the repercussions that will come and back down, most of the time. But why? Can we not speak what we feel about politics, relationships, religion, school, color and what ever it may be? If we mean what we say without the intentions of hate, why not? Our world is getting to where we can't speak out because of offending someone....   i was told at an early age.. put your big girl panties on and deal with it.. not everyone is going to say or do what you like....   they have an opinion and they can share it as long it's not doing any harm to you or anyone else. 

I have been fearful most of my life with one thing or another. And just recently, allowing fear to keep me from doing something that my heart wanted me to do......   Sad that I will never have that chance, now.  Fear kept me from my acting so many years ago and this I can try and rectify, I am trying to get back into something that I love doing and my modeling, I never let my height keep me from the passion I had for this profession.....  just my fear.  Fear has kept me from so much in my life as well as many of you..... why do we succumb to this feeling? 

 If our forefathers had succumbed to the fear that was inside.... We would not be this great Nation we are today.  But, if we don't stand up for this great Nation, right now because we are afraid of being called bullies, racists or whatever it may be keeping us from defending this Nation's Constitution, we are lost.. Our Country and it's solid Constitution and Faith in God....should never , ever be apologized for .. We are a proud nation and others from countries come here because we are free.. with political and religious views.. they are here to live by our constitution and views ..  they are free to practice theirs but not push theirs on us... I can't go to their countries and ask them to speak English or I am a southern Baptist.. I want you to be ..... doesn't work that way, I or anyone else would be thrown out... We respect other countries and how they are run and abide the rules when we are there......   Again, Fear......is keeping us from being our Great Nation..........  WHY??  

I can't allow fear to rule my world any longer.. I have lost too much already... I abide the law, rules and I have a voice that needs to be spoken... As do you. Fear keeps us down and I don't choose to be down any longer.. Watch out world.. Hear my voice..      

Thanks.......
