How Many of us hold back in our lives, even
just a little because of some fear?
I think the answer to that is, probably everyone. “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear”
Let me ask you, What is fear and Where
does it come from?
Fear means being afraid of the unknown, the
anxiety of uncertainty that builds as you prepare to do something that you’ve
never done/experienced before. This unknown entity can be an act, a person, a situation
or anything which is out of our comfort zone. Fear comes from our mind and
imagination. Almost all our fears are self-created because of the negative thoughts
which can hamper our confidence in ourselves. We get scared, that something bad might
happen, that is the origin of fear.
Let's take the example of some of my fears,
the most unpleasant one is losing my vision, then losing my job and the most
common one is the fear of failure. Just like me, many people have fear of failure
and because of this many of us give up without even trying, we let the fear overpower
our courage.
I
have learned over the years that you should not stop trying new things just
because you don’t want to fail in that. My life didn’t go exactly as I had
planned, and I am sure yours hasn’t either. Even if we plan things out, it won’t
happen as predicted, things never go the way you want (most of the time).
With every step, I’m making my way with
all the obstacles around. Trust me, if you’re not willing to risk, you cannot
grow, if you cannot grow, you cannot give your best, if you are not giving your
best then you cannot be happy and if you are not happy then what's there to
live for? Take a minute and think about it.
As we continue our journey, sometimes we
regret that we could have or we might have/should have tried to conquer our
fear.
A coin has 2 sides and so does the fear– “forget everything & run away” or “Fight back and rise “, the choice is
yours. There is always a way that fear serves a valuable purpose, help us breakthrough
to achieve what we truly desire. If we allow then fear can become an ultimate
tool to grow in life.
Many times I wonder I would not have
reached where I’m today, without overcoming my fears I wouldn’t be the person I
am now. Fear has given me strength, courage and confidence to make a change, to
start living the life I want.
Now the question arises, how can we overcome
our fears. It is not so difficult actually. Try to do a thing (which you are
afraid of doing) at least 3 times, the first time to get over the fear of doing
it, the second time to learn how to do it and third time to figure out whether
you like it or not.
For the last few months, we all have lived
with the same fear of COVID-19 pandemic which has changed the way we live and
work. Many of us feel anxious during this time, Coronavirus fear is difficult
for anyone to handle. However, we have been patient, stayed together and fought
back(still doing). Let's hope for a better and safer future.
