What is fear? Fear is the thing that holds all of us back from our own goals. It's the lingering thought in you not to take action, but always wonder, "what if?" It is a nefarious element that truly contributes to our daily miseries. Don't mistaken this with procrastination or laziness. Those are two other things.
Procrastination is something that is instilled upon you when you want to get something accomplished, but you're delaying it. Fear plays a factor in it, but it is all upon the responsibility of yourself to accomplish things.
Laziness is also different. Laziness is just not wanting to do it because you just have no desire. There were many a times that I have felt this way, but I have gradually realized this isn't for the best.
Now back to fear. Fear truly rules all of our lives. It's only during those times that we rise and stand against our own fears that we truly shine.
In my own lifetime, fear has been a big part of my own life. I have feared everything you can possibly name off: girls, my future, life in general, growing old, being alone, being more talkative, talking too much, my own ability as an artist, being manipulated, that stupid doll from child's play, clowns at one point in my life, stage fright, and even vampires. But beyond the "supernatural" and fictional fears, the real life problems of my own are the ones that terrify me the most.
I haven't truly conquered them, but I've been able to deal with them. That's my problem. I haven't reached that point where I can successfully say that I have conquered my own fears when I haven't. I still struggle with girls, talking enough, stage fright, regret, and over thinking everything.
The supreme evil dwelling within my life I'm fearful of: change. I always end up going back to this topic, as much as I dread it, but I need to get it off my back. It is a monkey that simply won't stop trying to bother me for a couple of bananas. I only gave one, he wanted 12 more....
Point being, I fear change. I fear it because I don't know what will happen to me in the crossfire. I can't considerably control some things that just happen for a reason. And I fear that.
Face the unknown with your head high. Nothing in this world is worth fearing. It only takes some will and courage to get over what you fear.
One example is I fear failure. So often this crosses my mind. What do I do to remedy it? I fight on. I get that mindset that I will prevail and I will succeed, and just like a train, I keep going. It's sad that I have to trick my mentality in order for me to progress forward, but if it isn't broke, don't fix it I always say.
That's it for now. Later!
