Failure in my life and with my kids is my biggest fear. I tend to not try new things and I also tend not to be as close to my kids as i should. I don't think either one of them will every help conquer my fear of failure it is just my way of dealing with it.

Driving off a bridge or dock and winding up in the water and being unable to get my family out of the car to safety. I even went out and bought one of those safety hammers with the razor in the handle to cut the seat belt and the point on the hammer to break the glass, but I don't feel safe without having done a dry run... I just don't want to have to repair the glass. I very rarely find myself traveling over large bodies of water on a regular basis, so my fear is really unfounded, but still the thought goes through my head.

I fear hurting someone else through my own carelessness. That is a good fear because it prompts me to pay better attention to my driving and other things. It does not paralyze me; simply propels me.
