Submitted by Dr. Robert F. Lane on
The Dragon can just use fear to mess with you or to really take you out. When fear overrules reason, it poisons your intellect. Studies have shown that 90% of people put under severe stress are not able to think clearly or solve simple problems. Creativity, insight, cool thinking and rational reflection that are all necessary for a measured response to a problem are severely impaired.

Submitted by Dr. Robert F. Lane on
We look around at those who have disabling phobias like the fear of heights or tight places or spiders and we think it is strange. The agoraphobic confines himself at home for fear of going outside. His world shrinks, avoidance behavior reigns. The fear of death does the same thing and imprisons many with walls that are hard to see. Both new and old relationships are walled off because they are perceived as too painful and what's the point?

PRECIOUS AND VITAL
Thank God for the support team and the caregivers. No one can run a bell lap without you – crawl may be, but not run. You are the true friends; you are ever so precious. You are the encouragers, the listeners, the pacesetters, the nurses, medics, coaches and counselors. You offer the certainty that there will be a witness to their lives – that they are valued.
