EPILOGUELife presents trials while growing up, periodically placing us in situations where we come face-to-face with fear. Hopefully, we learn from these experiences and then move forward. For me, running was often the response to fear during my adolescent years. Pure adrenaline propelled me to safety, and I’d never be able to match that same speed at any other time. As you mature, you look back at those earlier fears and scoff at how foolish they were. Life must have created a written script to follow, because most of us have faced similar fears and can relate to the comparable stories of others.
Fear of the unknown is a challenging sensation that we might experience at any age. In many cases, I can look back today and laugh at some of my childhood reactions, although they weren’t funny
