FEAR

/fɪə/

an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm. be afraid of (someone or something) as likely to be dangerous, painful, or harmful.

imagination

While  imagination  is the ability of the mind to be creative, resourceful and stimulate ideas; the suffering caused in our imagination is much higher and destructive than it is in our reality.. Life is full of difficulties, struggles and perplexities. But the fear that emerges from our imagination is the  Soul’s Cry..

The basic Human nature allows the brain to exalt and promote our imagined ‘ thoughts of others’,  while suppressing and hiding our own. 

control

We, as individuals, can only  control  what we  yield;  our creations, our inputs and our efforts. Another person’s perception of us is the one thing that will never be in our control. 

Why fear embarrassment? Why fear nervousness? Our control is limited to ourselves, why filter our thoughts before presenting them, why censor them or hide them completely because of the risk of  embarrassment?

Nervousness and fear of embarrassment will be eradicated once we are aware of what is in our  COMMAND  and what is completely out of our control.

reality

Humans are born with just  2 fears;  fear of falling and loud noises. Learnt-fears do make ‘sense’; fear is intangible but  very real.  The ideal fear, if there is one, should be of not seizing opportunities in life, looking back and regretting what you didn't do rather than savoring what you did.

What people think;  a very common fear, we can deny it, but it is a huge factor that nourishes and fuels fear. Disregard, other’s opinions is the most  inept way of describing yourself. 

One grows and learns while operating at the edge of one's capacity. This is where fear jumps in, as, the start is what stops most people.

unfamiliarity

While fear can put you at a disadvantage, it can also be a  driving-factor.  Some of your greatest accomplishments and achievements came after brief moments filled with nervousness and fear. 

on the other hand, unfamiliarity can be described as  ‘fear of the unknown’.

 

But the fool didn’t know it was impossible, so he did it anyways.

Channelizing and then deploying the fear can lead to astonishing results. GOD placed the best things in life on the other side of fear, hence being ‘fearless’ is not the objective. It is rather  accepting our fears  to form a path towards success. 

Everyday teaches you something. It's just a matter of time you realize that it did. Ⓒ
