I'm not a very good swimmer. When I was in grade 3 my best friend & her 2 brothers drowned. 3 little coffins. So sad. Plus Dad thought it was funny to swim under water & pull my leg trying to pull me under. So I would just stay out of the water. It wasn't until I was an adult that I taught myself to swim. Never in a lake, only in a pool. And I try to keep my face from getting wet. If your face is dry you can't drown. Right? Plus I'm blind as a bat without my glasses which is kinda scary for me in the water.
I don't think I could do what Banky did. Way to go Dude!
But I have to say I have conquered other fears. I once touch a pet boa constrictor. And there is a very deep rooted fear that I have dealt with back in 1999-2000. Even though it would have been a disaster for my parents to stay married their divorce did have an affect on me. One that I wasn't even aware of until I took the time to analyze my life. Once I tackled that fear Life was all the more sweeter. Ask Kanga he would tell you how much better our marriage is since then. We all have issues. A lot depends on if you take the time to deal with them or not. Life can be good, or it can be great. Your choice.

Dealing with your fears is great but anyway, we are bound to have some fears... and I think that's what makes us humans. We are all vulnerable...
I totally understand your fear of swimming. I love swimming myself but I'm not comfortable at all with the idea of climbing and admire these Everest people. But eh, I grew up by the sea...
Way to go Spyder! I face some fears, others I just live with (like many do I spose). But it's realizing you have a fear and deciding how you want to deal with it that is the most important thing.
Very cool Spyder. Thanks for the kudos. And I couldn't agree more about dealing with fears. We are transformed upon doing so! Congrats on the gobs of personal growth. It shows.
Just the post I needed! Thanks, spyder.
