 Avenue Talk: Going For The Dream Sometimes in Life we find ourselves at cross roads, where should I go? No one really has certainty of the path they take and even though you may be equipped you may not know how and when to use the equipment/knowledge because fear comes in and makes you look weak. Confusion, doubt all start challenging your decisions and you start thinking you're not good enough, that maybe you're being unrealistic you'll never achieve your goals. You then think of a U-turn, going back and settling for something comfortable just for your sanity and security. While it's not what you wanted you do it with love but the passion isn't there, it's just not for you. What you wanted starts haunting you and you have no choice but to go back. What's meant for you never leaves you, it can remind you of its existence and you must seek for it, go after it. The path is scary, unpredictable but be unpredictable too, fear comes in,stand your ground. You kno...

                                Common specific phobias Surely we have an idea what phobias are and there are a few specific phobias that are common and known to a lot of people. One needs to understand that the fear must be irritational, unreasonable and without a cause to that fear. Last week, we touched on PTSD, which result from a traumatic experience and it is understandable to develop an irrational fear of something after a traumatic experience.  Aquaphobia is an irrational fear of water, even though there isn't any real danger that the water poses. Aquaphobia is also better known as hydrophobia, though hydrophobia may also refer to rabies in people, so for the sake of avoiding ambiguousness, we'll stick to aquaphobia. This irrational fear may include being seriously scared of swimming pools, the lake, the ocean or even a bathtub filled with water. This means that a person with aqua...
