A man once went to a fortune teller, curious to know what she would say
about his future. The fortune teller looked into her magic ball and then
her facial expression said it all. The man would die, she said, involved
in a bus accident. This would happen within two to three months time,
but she couldn't say exactly when. The man went home, depressed and
worried telling himself how he never really believed in fortune tellers.
Why should he now?
When two months passed, he had thought about what she said, day in and
day out. Now he decided to lock himself in his house where he wouldn't
come close to any busses for the next month.
Another 3 weeks went by when the man came down the stairs from his
bedroom to make some coffee. His little son had left his toys on the
floor of which one was a little toy bus. The man stepped on the bus,
after his last step down the stairs, slipped and knocked his head
against the stairway railing and died instantly.
Moral of the story: "Live life on the edge, don't lock yourself away."

This story helped me to overcome many of my fears... Fear only has one
purpose; it holds you back! Don't let it. Carry on with your life, as
fear doesn't resolve anything. It's like they say, "Worry is like a
rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you
anywhere."
LET IT BE!!
