Fight Your Fears

“To reach your greatest potential, you will have to fight your greatest fears.”

Fighting your fears does not mean to come on the ground and start doing some fancy karate moves and imagining that you are competing against your fears. No! That’s not how it is.

Fighting your fears means to stand up against your fears instead of running away from them or letting them take over you.

If you let your fear take over you, it will take advantage of that situation and make you even more frightened of itself, leading you to have a weak mind and powerless.

For example- I had the fear of darkness. (I still probably do, but most of it has vanished) Like, that fear was so bad that I didn’t even go to the other room at night. The other room, which was the drawing room, I was so overtaken by my fear of darkness that I didn’t have the guts to step into that room at night. Forget the other room, whenever my father told me to put the curtain on the window or make it right, I didn’t even have the guts to do that, because I thought some evil killer clown might be hiding behind the curtain, right outside the window, and if I go there, it may grab me! Eventually, I figured out that if I sang songs while going to the other room at night, I tended to feel less frightened. Slowly and eventually, I sang songs and started to fear less while going to the other room at night. This way, I almost got rid of my fear of darkness, and now, I no more feel frightened to go to the other room!

So, if you find unique but simple ways to fight your small fears, you will become stronger and the fears won’t be able to touch you again!
