Why is it that when we want to do things that we know will be of benefit to us, we get this fear that; what if we fail, what if we are not noticed despite the effort we will put in?
The fear of failing and not been acknowledged comes from the mind. It comes when you don鈥檛 have enough confidence, when you are not bold enough, when you lack courage.
This fear makes us afraid of taking the road of success, because we are afraid that we will fail. When you don鈥檛 try how will you know if you will fail or not.
Life is all about lessons, failures and success. When you don鈥檛 give it a try how do you know you will fail.
"Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it."
-Judy Blume
MY LIFE MY FEAR
I was so afraid of life after graduation馃槺馃槪馃槪.
Was always thinking where will I start from, what will I do to get money, how will I cope without my mothers support.
Because after school I never wanted to go back home and live with my mum and siblings, I always wanted to be self sufficient. While I was still in school I always love been independent not asking anyone for anything. So I was scared of how I was going to cope with it after school.
I was scared of trying out new things in life because I was afraid of failure. I was not confident in myself.
But life after school turned out very well, because I confronted my fears and stepped outside my comfort zone, I left my parents house and started living on my own.
Why living alone I tried searching for jobs to do so I could earn a living. But I failed no matter how many times I tried, I didn鈥檛 give up I thought to myself why is this not happening, is it that God has greater plans for me.
After that I sat and thought for a while then I concluded that if getting a job is not working out, I can always create one for myself.
So I embarked on the journey of a thousand miles with just a step,
Today I鈥檓 independent, working on my own terms and making profit.
OVERCOMING FEAR
It takes just one step to face your fears. While facing your fears just remember and always have in mind that you don鈥檛 have to be perfect at anything.
Visualize the outcome of what you want to face, don鈥檛 think about what if you fail NO. Always think of the outcome, that is; how you will feel when you succeed.
Always think positive and not negative.
CONCLUSION
Fear only make us to remain stagnant in life, it鈥檚 makes us give up on our dreams. It gives us low self esteem.
We have to overcome our fears to move forward in life and achieve our goals.
Please I want us to do those things that fear of failure has been holding us back from. Think of what the outcome will be and work towards it.
