fear is something that everyone experiences

Most of us have experienced fear through our lives, whether this fear was of an insect or an animal, of a dark place or of a ghost, of being rejected or even of dying, we have all tried our best to become more courageous but many have failed. Do you know why did they fail? Because they have never though of what’s below

courage and fear

Most people around think that courage is not having fears, and this is never true, everyone around experiences fear, the brave and the coward, but it’s just the way of dealing with their fears that makes someone brave or makes him a coward.

The brave continues moving on even if he felt afraid, while the coward escapes whenever he feels afraid, both of them try to escape their fears, but the brave escape forward and the coward escapes backwards.
Fear is having the feeling that you should stop here, courage is to continue moving although you do feel so.

fear and tolerance

One of the main reasons some people get afraid of something is that they think that they can’t tolerate the outcome of being exposed to that feared situation, and so they just avoid that thing throughout their whole lives.

And who knows maybe if they tried only once to face their fears they would have found that this fear was only on their minds.

fear and false ideas

Tom have got intense fear of darkness, he thinks that he cant tolerate seeing a ghost when staying in dark place, tom spent forty years of his life avoiding being alone in dark places, until one day his car ran out of fuel at a very dark place at the high way, he had to go down and stay there alone for the whole night until someone picks him up the next day morning.

But after staying there for one night, tom found that he was being fooled for forty years, because he found nothing there!!

fear of being afraid

What most people doesn’t know is that sometimes we fear to experience the feeling of being afraid rather than fear the object itself, some people avoid their feared object for the sake of one thing, not to be afraid.

However the more you run of facing your fears the more you will be afriad to face them, on the other hand the moment that you will deicde to face your fears, the moment that they will become much less.

face your fears and you will be brave

Don’t spend your whole life escaping something, decide even if one time that you will stand and wont run, decide that you are going to face it, whatever it is, decide that its time to face instead it of running away the rest of your life,decide to seek your answers by testing whether something scary does really exist or its just your imagination that is making you feel afriad. And who knows, maybe when you face your fears you find that there was nothing to be feared from the beginning!!
