Page 71 the exploration of self is inextricably interwoven with the unfolding of one's life. The natural ups and downs of life can either generate personal growth or create personal fears. Which of these dominates is completely dependent upon how we do change. Change can be viewed as either exciting or frightening, but regardless of how we view it, we must all face to fax the change is the very nature of life. People don't understand that fear is I think. It is just another object in the universe that you are capable of experiencing. You can do one of two things with fear: You can recognize that you have it and work to release it, or you can keep it and try to hide from it. Because people don't deal with fear objectively they don't understand it. They end up keeping their fear and trying to prevent things from happening that would stimulate it.
