Tick, tock, tick, tock that is the sound of the clock ticking away. Sweat glistering on your forehead, as you anxiously wait to hear the good or bad news or is it the news that will decide your fate (I don't know). Fingers tapping anxiously on the table, feet constantly shaking, a bewildered look on your glum face & there you are sitting down wondering what is going to happen next. Such is the reality that we immerse ourselves into once we become uncertain of what life holds for us in its tight vice like grip.
"Fear is an emotion in anticipation of some specific pain or danger (usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight)".
Fear is one of the most powerful forces that comes in second after love (which is the most dreaded feeling that overwhelms & renders one lacking in all sensibility). I do have fear & am pretty sure that you also have your own fear just like there are skeletons in your closet. Well then, now that we are all fearful of one thing or the other, let us begin.
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear & the oldest and strongest kind of fear is the fear of the unknown".
The feeling of having fear keeps one focused mostly on the past, failures, regrets, weaknesses or just plain worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that we are overcomes & it is just our hesitation and the question of "what if" that holds us back. I have come to realize that if you want to catch your dream, you have to drop your fears.
True fear will stifle your thinking & actions. It tends to create indecisiveness within us that results in stagnation. I have seen many give up on a dream job just because the interview didn't go well (So what! Pick yourself up, dust yourself off & look life straight in the face & tell it hits like a girl). We (myself included) all have a tendency to procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Know this lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence & the downward spiral of events in ones life.
