THE THINGS YOU FEAR ARE NOT YOUR PROBLEMS
Fear has a way of distorting reality, it is a liar with a loud voice. It convinces you that the shadows and mirage you see are real, that the obstacles ahead are insurmountable, that your path is blocked when the road is wide open, and that failure is inevitable, but the truth is, the things you fear are not your problems.
Fear will take you ahead of time into tomorrow, and tell you stories of everything that could go wrong, bring you the images of problems that do not exist, and paint pictures of events that may never happen. It will bring anxiety forward from the future and unsettle you in the present, such that you will lose what is in today for you.
Your fear of rejection is not the problem, it is your hesitation to try that should be addressed; your fear of failure not the problem, it is your unwillingness to learn what will make you succeed that should be checked; your fear of uncertainty is not the problem, it is your resistance to adapt to changing situations that should be worked on.
Fear has no substance, it is as powerful as you make it. The real issue is not always the fear itself, but what you allow it to stop you from. Everyone who has achieved any great thing in history never did so without fear, but in spite of it. They only refused to be controlled by their fear, they forged ahead with courage in the face of it. You don't have to respond to every thing fear throws at you, you only have to deal with what is real, present, and prevailing. Choose courage over comfort, action over avoidance. The moment you stop seeing fear as a barrier and start seeing it as a signpost pointing you toward growth, everything changes for you, and you become unstoppable.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
