Fear can be defined as the unpleasant feeling that is aroused in our mind by the threat of danger; evil or pain. In our everyday lives; we experience fear. It is mostly on a emotional level. It is the environment we find ourselves in that often make us afraid. It can be a place (for example a creepy house) or even a particular situation (for example getting home alone late at night)
Fear comes into our mind and invites itself. It keeps us from doing things that can benefit us; it keeps us from making changes in our lives. Because of that fear; we make up situations (which will probably never happen) in which we will experience pain. The thing that makes fear so powerful in our mind is the uncertainty. We don't know what lies ahead for us. We think that it is not going to work out and that it will cause us pain. It is more or less like getting into a dark room and not knowing what is in it.
We are afraid of the wrong things. We are afraid to try because we don't know what the future holds and because we don't want to get hurt. We are afraid of what it might do to us and what people will think.
This change brings about numerous characteristics that need to be taken into account. Is it worth it or not? I guess there is only one way to find out: we must TRY. .
We should not be afraid of uncertainty; but instead of the regrets that we might feel because we did not try in the first place.

Fear is the opposite of love. It steals our joy. Being brave or courageous doesn’t mean you lack fear, it means you recognise fear, but move beyond it anyway.
ReplyDeleteYou move beyond it because you refused to be imprisoned by it, for now or the rest of your life.
