My Biggest Fear

This is a tough question to answer because it is hard to name your BIGGEST fear. I have a lot of small fears, and some of them are not just your regular, fear of spiders or snakes. I would have to say that my biggest fear is the fear of not living up to my potential. We all get one life on Earth and I want to make the best of it and live up to the potential that God has for me. I could also say that I fear the unknown. For me, it is one of those things that I struggle grasping. Its the unknown...scary. Even the little things like, not knowing what is on a test. I sometimes freak out because I do not know what is on it, all because of the unknown. I do not like not knowing what is going to happen, I tend to like to be in control. I try to remind myself that I am not in control and need to let go, but all these things are easier said than done. These fears can also be my greatest flaws, because they can bring out the worst in me. "Don't let your fears control you" is another little quote that I like.
I do have small fears, such as of spiders or even the dark if I am in some place that I do not know, but those are all fears of which are not as hard to get over. I do freak out though if I see a big spider. But the fear of missing out on something is one thing that I fear the most. Sometimes I just remind myself that if I am too worried about missing something...I probably am. I also fear making mistakes, but that is small as well. I like the saying "It does not matter that you make a mistake, it is what you do after you make the mistake that really matters".
Overall, I have many fears, some big and some small, and I think everybody has fears. It is just how you control them that really matter. How do you deal with them? It varies from person to person. Some people avoid them, others face them. It depends on the person. I try to face them, but I do still get scared. Then I just remember who is really in control of everything...and it makes me feel so much better.
