My heart and my mind are so full today. So many things that don't have enough words to express them fully.
Let's start with yesterday. My nephew's best friend died in a motorcycle accident. He must have been around 18 years old, in matric. There is a violent rip in that family, among his friends, that will never heal completely.
Yesterday morning he was still bursting with life and energy and plans for the future.
Today he is still and lifeless. Suddenly, pointlessly.
Several people have passed from our lives recently - my mother, my daughter-in-law's father, my eldest children's grandmother - some were elderly, some were younger, some expected, some unexpected.
We take our lives for granted. Obviously, we don't live expecting to die any moment, but sometimes we just live too ... casually.
Years ago, in my twenties, I experienced a traumatic event, which made me question my outlook on life.
I realised that years, months, days, seconds that pass are over FOREVER, they are history. I decided that I wanted to do all the things I possibly could before I was too old to do them. So I made a bucket list.
I completed most of the tasks on that initial list, and ended up adding more and more.
We take our loved ones for granted. You say goodbye to your husband as he leaves for work, not imagining that he may not be coming home to you tonight.
One cannot live in fear, obviously, but I have just had a reality check: do I show my love, or my affection, to those around me often enough? That should be on our daily bucket list, at the very top!
Do I appreciate them often enough? Do I spend enough time with them, looking at them, laughing with them, or do we sit silently, scrolling on our phone screens?
Am I living my life fully, abundantly, with joy and with the people I share this planet with?

Face Your Fears and Gain Control of Your Life
We're all human and therefore we all have fears. Some of us fear death, others fear being
alone, and others fear social situations. If you can think of it, there's someone somewhere
that's afraid of it. But fear is a normal part of life! It's what protects us and keeps us safe.
There are times, though, when fear can hinder us and stop us from enjoying life and
experiencing new joys.
When your fear starts to limit what you do in life, you need to conquer that fear. Does your
fear of flying stop you from traveling to visit family members or prevent you from taking the
vacation of your dreams?
What about socializing with co-workers after work? Have you turned down social invitations
simply because you were anxious about not knowing anyone in the group?
If your fears are stopping you from taking advantage of the new opportunities in your life,
then it's time to regain control of your life and disallow your fears from
paralyzing you. After all, you can't live in a bubble! It's time to start living your life instead
of watching life passing you by.

To help you gain control of your life, here are a few tips on how to get over your
fears:
• First, identify your fears. Get a piece of paper and write down exactly what you're
afraid of. It doesn't matter how long the list is, whether it has one thing or 15 things on
it. And it doesn't matter if these fears sound irrational. No one needs to see the list other
than you. This is about you taking control and getting over your fears.
• Next, figure out why you have the fear. Try to remember a specific incident that
might have caused the fear. Maybe your fear of flying intensified because you've been
on a turbulent flight. Or maybe your fear of dogs stemmed from being bitten as a child.
• If you've blocked out these memories because they're too painful to remember, a
professional can help you reach those memories and decipher their
meaning. A professional can also advise other forms of treatment, such as hypnosis or
the emotional freedom technique (EFT).

Now the hard part begins: overcoming or conquering these fears. Be patient and be
prepared to do some work because, just as the fear took time to manifest, it will take time to
conquer.

Take Baby Steps
In the movie What About Bob? there was a therapist who had a patient who was afraid of
everything. The therapist used the baby step approach with this patient, which simply
means taking small steps, one at a time, to gain more confidence and eventually overcome
the fear.
What would your baby steps be? It depends on your fear.
1. If you're afraid of social situations, slowly start going to different events.
Start with small groups, perhaps in very open environments, then transition slowly into
larger gatherings. The purpose here is to prove to yourself that there's nothing for you
to fear.
2. Socialize with a small group of friends you already know. Polish your social skills
among people who already know you. You have less to lose and won't feel as if
you must say the right thing at all times.
3. If you're afraid of dogs, take this same approach by visiting a friend who has a dog.
Small dogs are much less intimidating (although they might bark more frequently). If
your friends don't have dogs, ask your local vet's office or animal shelter if you can
visit.
4. Fear of flying is much more difficult to conquer because of the expense, but you can
look into hypnosis. Also, some airports or flight schools might have classes in airplane
simulators that help you feel like you're in an airplane. That type of plan will take
more research but will open the world to you.

By facing your fears and finding a way to overcome them, you will open up your life to
many more opportunities. Take control of your life and take action!
