Dear loving people,
The last part of this series focuses on taking
action to definitly conguer fear in your life. Fear is also caused by ignorance. When
we have limited information, our doubts dominate us. We become tense and
insecure about the outcome of our actions. Ignorance causes us to fear change,
to fear the unknown, and to avoid trying anything new or different. But the
reverse is also true. The very act of gathering more and better information
about a particular subject increases our courage and confidence in that area.
You can see this in the parts of your life where you have no fear at all
because you know what you are doing. You feel competent and completely capable
of handling whatever happens.
Once you have identified the major
factors that cause you to feel afraid, the next step is to objectively define and analyze
your personal fears. At the top of a clean sheet of paper, write, “What
am I afraid of?” Remember, all intelligent people are afraid of
something. It is normal and natural to be concerned about your physical,
emotional, and financial safety and that of the people you care about. A
courageous person is not a person who is unafraid. As Mark Twain said, “Courage
is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.”
Begin your list of fears by writing
down everything, major and minor, that causes fear, stress, or anxiety. Think
about the parts of your work or personal life where your fears might be holding
you back or forcing you to stay in a job or relationship in which you are not
happy. Once you have written down your fears, arrange them in order of importance,
and then pick them apart one by one.
To
conquering your fears, All the best!
