How Do You Approach Fear?

My fear may not be as serious as Chris, or extraordinary. I recall at the beginning of the school year I was contemplating applying for a college class. I read through all of the requirements. It would do me good in the future, but that was the way I lived until now. I always did things for the future me, so I didn’t really enjoy the present. I suddenly realized, that I am still young, and have years to live, to go experience things. Then when I am old, I can look back and find comfort in the things I did with no regrets. I can do things at my own pace and how I want. Of course I will ask others for help and guidance, but my fear of the future and expectations from myself, were solved. I guess this is an internal fear. To overcome it, I had to take a step back and think about myself, about how I felt about what my mind was thinking.
