<human>: Standing, staring blankly into space in my bitterly cold darkened room, I realized that the overriding philosophy that I adhere to is fear. It isn't the need to maximize my self interest or do unto other as they would unto you or even just to have fun or be happy. It is fear plain and simple, that permeates almost every decision of my life. Like a terminal cancer, it invades and takes over from my core being. The decision to lie at every opportunity about my social life because I fear people feeling sorry for me, the decision to delay doing work because I am scared that I'm not going to do it properly, the decision not to pay my bills even though i am flush with cash because i fear it will hurt and on and on it goes. I even go through "hobby phases" when I focus on particular topics or activities exclusively for days or weeks at a time because it blocks out thinking about any of the things I fear. 

Today, when I was standing idly in my darkened room was the first time I realized the role fear has played in my life. By most external measures, people perceive me as a success. But I know myself. I know I will not live up to my potential, so long as fear is around. I know I can make a positive difference to this world.

Today is the day I say fuck you to fear. You have done nothing for me. No more am I going to let you dominate every aspect of my being. I will fight you with action. I will fight you with interaction. I will fight you with my freedom to choose my actions. With every decision I make, I will repel your influence. Every small victory I have, will never cure my insatiable desire to see you evaporate into an air of meaninglessness. Prepare to die motherfucker. GAME ON.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: had epiphany, realized fear dominates my life. Decided to attack it by head on by choosing to consciously make decisions in spite of it.
