Fear

Fear.... Just the sound of it sends chills down your spine, right?

All of us have fears. I, for one, am scared of failure. So, everytime I try something new or have to answer am exam or play guitar in front of people, I'm terrified of not being good enough or being laughed at. But, at the same time, I wonder if I'd regret not doing something out of fear! 

I think all of us have faced this at some point in our lives. 

Whether you're a teenager like me who is scared of the future and choosing the right career or you're a working person who's afraid of not being promoted even after working at a certain place for several years. Same goes for the people who have graduated college and are now worried about finding work or getting into the right university for further education.

Seems like fear pretty much controls your life, doesn't it? 

But it's not the truth.

You have a choice either to let the demons win or defeat them and delete them from your life.

This is gonna sound cliché but you can overcome your fears and trust me, you'll come out stronger than ever!!!

Now, try to think of your biggest fear.

Got it? Now, think of a way to overcome it.

If you're scared of heights, go cliff jumping. If you have a fear of the water, learn to swim. Scared of spiders? Learn more about them and try to look at them as beings and not fears. If darkness is your greatest fear, think of someone or something which lights up your life and you won't fear that anymore. If, like me, you have a fear of failure, imagine how much more you'd enjoy life if you weren't bound by these chains, try to have some self confidence and believe in yourself. And, yes, doing all of this will be scary and seem stupid at first but the best thing you can do for yourself is to live fearlessly and have courage to do everything you've ever dreamt of and achieve it all!

That one fear stands between you and happiness. 

Are you willing to stand aside and let the fear do its work or are you gonna stand up and not let it be in charge of your life?

It's your choice but the latter will always be the better option.

So, next time, you are scared of something, don't let it mess with your head as you and only you know what you'll miss out on and the regrets you'll have later. Just let go of it, overcome all those barriers and you'll actually start feeling free and start loving and enjoying life a lot more than before!

Here's a poem I came across. It's become one of my favourites. I hope you like it and gives you the courage to get over your fear.

I'm ending this with a quote that has truly impacted my life.

'Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing your game.'

That's it for today. Hope you guys enjoyed reading this. Tell me what you think about it in the comments section and if you have any ideas about what my next topic should be, tell me that too. 

Take care. 

Bye!
