    Realize that death and all fear is an illusion. Death only happens to the body, not you. Fear is only an inner project imposed on the external world. Fear of death is typically the ultimate fear, which leads to an over attachment to earthly life. Life is not just a material existence. When we are non-attached we are free to participate in it without having a vest interest in the outcome of events.

    it's about coming to peace with the thought that you one day will die one way or another, so while you're here, have fun, and don't obsess about fear because: imagine yourself 80 years old, never done anything because of the fear. no, i would rather be a 25 year old with no regrets and fears...

    my relationship to death on the other hand is quite good, me and death dance every time i take my Honda Cr 500 for a spin up the mountains, and after some scenes of me almost falling down a 700 meter steep slope; i'm able to feel alive for a moment again, i guess it's when i'm closest to death i feel the most alive!

    The secret is to accept that we all die, and live so that if you die today, you have no regrets. After all, we have the same petty fears (like what if I'm embarrassed?) But they have no meaning in the grand scheme, so ignore them and live well.

    Fear is required for self preservation. If you managed to live without fear you wouldnt live long. You need to recognise and manage fear.

    you can't. The challenge and achievement is in living without letting that fear direct your life.

    Good luck with that - anyone who's not afraid isn't paying attention, imo.
