How do you deal with fear?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 19, 2009:
One of my professors told me that everybody has one constant mortal fear. It is the cause of our demise in our dreams. Some dream of drowning, others burning. As a gravitationally-challenged person, I'm afraid of heights...because I could fall to my death. This is a very real threat because I fall a lot. Off of stages at recitals, down the stairs, up the stairs, over a blade of grass...and, you get the point. I'm trying to deal with this by choosing activities that force me to face my fears; for example, I ride roller coasters to try to accustom myself to the falling-from-high-places sensation. Maybe someday I will actually enjoy them...and won't hyperventilate on the trip to the top.
