Fear is man's greatest enemy of all times. Not that the brave do not fear a thing but they tame it. Fear, like all other emotion is inevitable but not invincible. It can be defeated and conquered! But, if not tamed, fear will tame you and that's what precedes cascading failures in life. It is precarious for life.
Imagine the spider which tried and tried and tried to mount a wall inspite of falling again and again; had it been a pusillanimous creature, we would not have had learnt the lesson of 'try, try and try again'. If it had given up then, we would have never known its story.
The MountainDew ad rightly says that 'darr sabko lagta hai' and it very well shows the essence of facing it. You never know what lies on the other side of the wall of fear. Obviously I do not endorse drinking of a particular drink to tame fear but I insist everyone never to give up due to fear.
Fear comes basically from two things- changing what exists since long, and, the other comes from trying something new. We tend to be apprehensive if given to change something. We fear adapting to changes and also fear experimenting and trying something new. These keep us from all the goods in life. The right way to live life is domesticating this feeling and transforming it to be a new motivation. Yes, fear can be a motivation if we are willing enough to face it.
If the kid who is afraid of the exams refuse to take the exam because of his fear then he can never prosper in life. He can never take any exam if he can't face the fear! But if he faces it then what lies ahead is certainly more beautiful than the present scenario.
Shreya was an ebullient girl who was in a relationship with Raj since three years; but, of late, Raj had changed a lot, changed to an extent where disrespecting Shreya was no less than his pass time. She knew it all but spoke nothing because she feared that he would leave her. She feared that everything would change drastically and she was pretty sure that what would follow next would be miserable. Sad? Isn't it? We tend to assume things out of fear and blame life for the misfortune. This is why I press you to tame your fear. Tame it and not blame it.
Imagine a group of farmers who protest use of scientific method of farming without even exploring it in fear of uncertain misfortune. What if it can change their life for good in a better way?
Fear keeps us deprived of certain opportunities and it is rightly said that fear is our greatest enemy because it remains within us, breathing and growing inside us. We must not feed fear with low self confidence but fight it with confidence as our weapon.
Lastly, fear does not make you coward, not facing it does. Just like love, hatred, apprehension, etc , fear too is a part of our emotions but do not let it decide for you. Keep going on, always face it.
