“Fear is a question: What are you afraid
of, and why? Just as the seed of health is illness, because illness contains
information, your fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if you explore
them.”
-Marilyn
Ferguson
There are a thousand things we are afraid
of in life. Fear of change, failure, fear of losing someone, rejection, death,
life, taking decisions and the worst, fear of the unknown. I feel we are our worst enemies when
it comes to fear. These fears if not checked at the right time can destroy our
lives. Small fears we face in our daily lives tend to become too big with time.
Some fears may appear to be very small and
unsubstantial, but they add up eventually and we don’t realize what mess we
create of ourselves. These surely need to be checked. We all are afraid of something
or the other, sometime we face it and sometimes we find ways to run from it.
Every fear we cultivate within ourselves actually takes from us the joy of
living. Why can’t we take them one by one? Big or small.
- - The best thing we can do is to
first define our fears and look for the source of their origin.
- - We can introspect, how life
would have been, had we not fear something; I am sure life would seem way
better.
- - Trusting yourself is the best
way to overcome any fear. Keep moving forward and never lose patience.
- - We many a times fail to enjoy
the smallest of our successes. We need to find a reason to be happy, to
celebrate, to feel inspired and motivated and feel positive about ourselves.
- - The best thing that can help
one feel better and strong is by lending a helping hand to someone in need. This
is something that can add up to one’s confidence in a great way.
Fears should
never be kept into dark and should never be left unchecked or untouched. It can
really be killing from inside living with a fear each day and each moment. So
better try to work through it. Be brave, be fearless.
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.”
- Frank Herbert
