Do you know overcoming fear is the only way to survive all the ups and downs of your life?

“You have nothing to fear if you are honest and guilt free” I have heard my mother saying these words an umpteenth time in my life.

Overcoming fear is actually the only survival kit available to you to help you walk through your life. It is because you will never have a moment of peace if you fear everything around you.

• You fear that your problems will be never ending.
• You fear you might fall ill.
• You fear that you will never be rich.

Can you see that you fear almost everything in your life?

Are all your fears justified and valid?

Not exactly.

Most of your fears is a fabrication of your own wild imagination.

When you are negative, you feed depressing thoughts into your mind. And these negative thoughts make your mind cloudy and gloomy.

When your mind is not assertive, you eventually become fearing and timid. When you do not have the guts to fight out your problems, your total life is enveloped with fear.

Shall we see what happens when you have fears?

• You shirk from doing things to make you successful.
• You cringe from meeting people.

• Your total outlook towards life becomes pessimistic and miserable.

What happens when you have such fears in your life?

• You do not progress in your life.
• Your success is doomed.
• You do not have a moment of peace.
• You fall into deep depression.

The only way out of these sorts of issues you face is overcoming fear. When you fall prey to your fear, it gathers momentum to finally destroy your mental peace and confidence.

Why do you find it difficult in overcoming fear?

The way you were brought up by your parents decides whether you are going to be courageous or timid.

If you were abused by your parents in your childhood you grow up with lot of complexities. One such complexity is fear.

Your thinking and discerning ability is crushed and nipped in the bud by your all controlling parents.

But if you were brought up by understanding parents you, grow up being dynamic and courageous.

My experience with fear

There was a period in my life when I feared meeting people. I put my affluent relatives on a pedestal and thought I was nothing before them.

I shirked from going to family functions as I thought I was a non-entity because I had no money and wealth.

One fine day I thought I was fearing people who were as human as I was.

“Why should I put others in a pedestal and put myself at the rock bottom?’ I told myself.

I gradually came out of my shell of fear and began mingling with people. My life was a revelation to me when I gave up my fear.

Today I am a very changed person. I easily make friends. I fear no one. I am content about myself. The depression which I felt when I feared people has completely gone away.

Conclusion

“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that fear has no power and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.” – Jim Morrison

Can you see that fear is nothing but your negative imagination?

Look at your reflection in your mirror.

Smile at your reflection, it smiles back.

Frown at your reflection, it frowns back.

It is the same with your fear also. If you give undue importance to your fear it clings to you and fetters your progress to a standstill.

On the other hand, if you shove it aside it melts down to nothingness.

It is all in your hands.

If you have to fear something it is your conscience, nothing else.
