What are you afraid of?

I don't feel like I'm extremely afraid of a lot of things.  There are things that make me nervous, but being truly afraid of something I would have to say I don't really have too many things.  But, the things that I am afraid of have to do with what I do with my life.  I don't want to get to the end of my life, whether it be 1 day longer or 100 years longer, and realize that the following have come true:

1.  Failure.  

2.  Not accomplishing anything in life.  

3.  Never having a family.


Now, I have accomplished things.  I do realize this.  But I have goals for myself that I want to reach or at least try to reach.  And should I not get close to these goals, I would feel that I had somehow failed.  But this does drive me forward.  I am ever mindful that each day, each breath, is extremely valuable and that I must use every second that I can to take strides to reach my goals, but to also live and enjoy life.  I am really good at pushing myself, but I am slowly understanding that part of life is also enjoying it and to not do so is actually a failure in itself.
