Fear

What's up with fear?

I-know you must be wondering what is this article about. We'll talk about everything when it comes to fear. The term emotion is defined as an impulse and or movement to improve, move forward, etc.

Most people would claim that fear is nothing but a bad emotion, but they're completely wrong. Fear becomes something bad in our lives when we do not know how to handle it.

Fear main propose is to protect us from danger, that is its main role. 

I even would dare to say that it is something that save us from dying.   But when does it become an obstacle in our daily life? When it stops us from trying and doing new things. Giving things a try is an art and not everyone knows how to approach it. Living with fear is not living at all. Most fears are harmless, but some of them keep us from reaching our real potential. 

Let me explain myself imagine you're afraid to water but you'd like to learn how to swim. I couldn't assure you that if you try you're going to be good at it but neither that you're not going to be the best swimmer ever. You wouldn't know in any way but trying and facing your fear. You have two chances, whether you fail or win. But in fact there's no way of doing anything but trying. We exist in a boundless universe, there are more than a hundred possibilities in everything we do and the way we act. 

And guess what? we'll never have the chance to predict whats gonna happen in our life. Life is unpredictable, what is meant for you, will eventually come to you. On the other hand whats not meant for you, I'm afraid to tell you, won't arrive even if you run after it.

What to do then? Find a balance. Do not throw yourself away in a ravine with no protection at all. That won't mean you're fearless but stupid.

This advise I have found it useful, whenever you're about to do something that may involve some risk in any way in you're life, think about it for 1 minute, think about the consequences, but also the reward you're getting from that action. Most importantly ask yourself if you'll regret it later on. I completely get that sometimes you do not think about anything and just act as an impulse and that's fine because it's human and natural. In order to learn you need to make mistakes.

Find balance in fear, make it your ally, for protecting but not stoping you.
