Heart of Andger

            
             After reading this statement several times, I notice that each time I read it I find a different meaning. Instead of using the word heart as the inner most place of something, I have decided it works better as the human heart. To have a heart of danger is to be able to face challenges head on without fear. Therefore safety resides in the heart of a person with courage and confidence.
             As a child I always had an intense fear of heights and sometime I felt like I had a fear of everything else as well. I used to get physically ill just from looking out a window from a few stories up. Thankfully as I've evolved into a teenager most of my anxieties have left me and I have no fear of heights. When you look at people who are successful, generally they have a certain air to them. Many of these people come off as cocky or brash, but most likely it is this self-confidence and courage that have propelled them to the position they are in. This is especially noticeable with people in the media such as politicians and athletes.
             I believe the thoughts that run through your mind as you go through your daily routine will have a bigger effect than anything else. Let's say your plan is to go rock climbing. If you approach this activity with full confidence and without any thoughts of doubt, you will be much safer, you"ll climb better, and you"ll have a better time. Looking back at my first date, which was Prom my sophomore year, I feel kind of stupid. I realize now that if I would have had more courage and been less afraid, the whole date would have gone smoother and my date and I both would have had a better time.
             Looking back at figureheads in history that I emulate, I notice the characteristic they all have in common is a heart of danger. They all faced danger head on and came out the victor. They never worried what other people thought, and they were willing to risk everything they had to get where they wanted to go.
