What Even Makes You Stronger

Fear. A word that defines what we never wanted to do, to act, or to live with. But also, nobody wants to live with fear. With John Maxwell's blog about fear, we are known to what fear is like. We are even informed of how to overcome fear. For everybody believes that to overcome fear, is to face it.

Well, have you ever experienced being afraid of something that you absolutely would do nothing with it anymore? Like when you were a kid, have you experienced being afraid of "ghosts"? When you were a teenager, have you experienced being afraid of "examinations"? When you were in love, have you experienced being afraid of being "heart broken"? If so, these feelings are called FEARS. And these fears cause you to have physical effects: a racing heart beat, a dry mouth, a flying mind, and perspiration all over your body. But then, your fear came from the existence of something rather unreal like the ghosts.

But it really isn't hard to just face fear. Some would even say: "it would kill me" just because they don't believe in themselves. They don't have the confidence to believe that they can do it.

Fear is absolutely real. Fear is like a bad habit that if you wouldn't get rid of, it might just eat you. Fear starts from a mere imagination. For example, your thinking that something bad will happen just because you have broken a mirror(or some other superstition beliefs) and this prediction starts bugging you, making you feel uncomfortable and clears up your energy, then you are definitely experiencing fear. So if fear comes only from an imagination, then why don't we just think and hope of a better idea rather than putting ourselves buried in fear? Right?

When we start to face our fears, we gradually decrease the uncomfortable feeling that we have. Even without you observing, it would just naturally disappear. Your energy comes coming back, you are comfortable in living your life, no pressure on the things you do and then you will feel free of problems. And so, one day, you would be reminded of that and you would just laugh it out and tell yourself that you have made it.

Following the steps of John Maxwell's Overcoming Fear, we are able to face our problems without hesitation. By discovering the foundation of fear, you are able to recognize what and where was your fear coming from. By admitting your fears, we are aware of our fear. By accepting the frailty and brevity of life, we are ready for anything and so fear i lessened. By accepting fear as the price of progress, we won't be able to see fear as a mere destruction. By develop a burning desire that overcomes fear, we are able to find concrete reasons to overcome fear. By focus only on today, we are able to concentrate on overcoming a fear one at a time. By doing it now, we are able to do what is supposed to be in a matter of time and without hesitations.

So you see, facing your fears would even make you a stronger person. Fears are not really that bad, they were just given to you for you to be able to grow from that of your past.

A person grows when he/she realizes that fear is a part of life, a very essential part of it, that the only way to overcome it is through means of facing it with courage and believing that it can be done.
