Never neglect the power of fear because it can make a man and can also mar a man.It is a force that can initiate devastating effects which most people can further term as courageous or cowardice.
Courageous will be used when an individual is able to succumb one's fear,take control of it and be able to capitalize on it.I fell in love with a quote I learnt so many years ago :
Courage is not the absence of fear,it is the ability to act in the presence of fear
Have you ever wondered how soldiers feel when they walk into battle fronts ?
How fighters feel when they are in the ring with a more powerful opponent?
They may apply calm or composed against such threat because they have suppressed the fear,being able to be courageous in front of such oppositions.
Fear preoccupies the proactive instincts of these men,making them execute plans ,actions and events which were considered impossible through the help of the adrenaline,of course but that doesn't mean fear is not vital too.
Cowardice is when an individual cannot take control of the fear and end up becoming its slave,submitted to its biddings.It might take lots of time and practice to be able to overcome cowardice once it sets in.
I believe Fear is an indispensable tool which have lots and tons of influence on individuals and their decisions.It is not wrong to be afraid but all we should be concerned about is taking charge of it,leading the way and staying in control .
