             "FEAR: an unpleasant emotion, caused by belief that something or someone is dangerous, likely to cause pain or threat." Whether if it's fear of failure, death, spiders, water or being in crowded places, everyone has something they are afraid of. Many of us have visions and goals that we want to accomplish, but the fear of failure or disappointment keeps us stagnant. Before you proceed reading this blog, I encourage you to think or write down your fears. What are you afraid of? What makes your stomach drop?             I once listened to a young man speak about his fears. He was in the middle of starting his own business and he was afraid to fail. He had to take out a cumulative loan of $40 million dollars to begin his business. If I was him, I would have been scared out of my mind also. $40 million dollars is a lot of money. Before he signed the documents for the loans he was confused, afraid to fail and feared disappointing his friends and family.

             If you haven't watched the video inserted above yet, I encourage you to watch it now. The video sets the tone for this blog post. Everyone is familiar with the popular movie titled "Mean Girls." Actress Lindsey Lohan plays the character Cady Heron, a 16 year old girl new to the public school district. Cady moved from Africa to America with her parents and attended public school for the first time. She quickly learns the cliques in public schools and similar to the video above, Cady finds herself in a girl fight over a young man. We can smile and giggle over children fighting over a boy or teenage girls fighting over a boy, but sadly as adults/young adults we still see females fighting each other over a man and males fighting eachother over women. I have one statement to this type of fighting, "If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay, remember that."
