Positive thinking: Fear Factor

It’s a reality that fear has today become an integral part of our lives. There are a lot of situations in which we encounter fear, but generally these turn out to be not as challenging as we were expecting them to be. The worry is all in our minds. Hence the key to fearlessness is to be detached and then to step into the core of your real self.

Under critical conditions, we sometimes find that we just can’t decide due to there being a conflict between two roles that are both equally important to us. We fear letting people down. In such a situation, we must check what does our heart says. There are some questions in life for which we just can’t find an answer to by analysing.

If we know who we are, though, and are able to trust our feelings, then when we are in those kind of situations, we can feel the fear but still act on our truth and self belief. The skill is to be really clear about one’s feelings from within. Then, we won’t have fear; because fear comes when we want something and we might not get it or we have something and we might lose it.

In practical life when we want something from someone, instead of saying “How do I get this?” we must say “What is it that I need to offer to get this?”. This will make us feel a lot happier because by doing so, we move from the mentality of a taker to the mentality of a giver. The end result would be that whatever we need would come to us automatically without any struggle or stress. Remember, without fear, one can always think of a creative solution to deal with any situation of life. So don’t fear, but be clear.
