Hope you are enjoying your week friends and community 馃グ馃挄.
Fear is very real and every one of us has suffered fear in way or the other, and at some certain time in life. And we can say fear comes in different ways , but the problem is how can we individually handle our fears .
The issue with handling fear is that some of us can muster the energy to subdue fear once we have built up the courage, and others can remain with their fear for a longer period because of lack of courage.
I was once a victim of fear at a tender age, even though I don鈥檛 know why. While growing up I don鈥檛 like walking on the road once its dark. So when ever we travel 馃С to the village during festivals, usually Christmas 馃巺 celebrations, and many children will like to pay a visit to other families around the village. And the fun 馃ぉ is that they will like to stay into late evenings before going back home due to all the enjoyments. But for me, once it鈥檚 starts to get dark I will start to worry my sisters that we should leave.
This fear 馃槰 comes especially when am not familiar with conners of track roads at the village. So I might see a tree 馃尣 in the dark and assume its a dead person who is walking around. Haha 馃榾. Most times I will be clinging to my sisters even when they are explaining and making me to understand that there are nothing like the dead walking around in the dark. But as time went by, I started to encourage myself which helped me do away with fear of darkness.
Another fear that tormented me is the fear of learning how to drive. This was one fear that made me took more than the expected time to be able to move a vehicle 馃殫 on my own. And I think that what contributed to this fear was my phobia for traveling 馃С. In fact traveling by road use to cause me so much fear 馃槰, especially because of long hours involved. So this really affected my learning how to drive. But gradually, I was able to conquer this fear because I know it has become a must.
Fear is only a thing of the mind just like courage is also a thing of the mind. And once courage takes over the mind, the fear goes away. So its a thing of the mind which we can overcome and be in control because they are literally nothing that can hinder us in doing things and living our lives
