Something that no one tells you about fear is that it is a natural human instinct necessary for every man’s survival and what’s bad about it  is letting it control and overpower you. 

I recall one time I was reading about Pain, and I saw that just like fear, pain is natural to every human. If you do not feel pain at all, then you might need to run a medical check on yourself.

Fear is God’s gift to man, one that helps man stay conscious of threatening and unsafe situations. Faith is actually not the opposite of Fear; people have used them wittingly in statements and so, we have ascribed them as word and opposite. I think the opposite of fear can be courage or confidence.

It’s the second half of the year and it seems like the New Year was just last week. I mean, time really flies fast. This realization can either make one scared or give hope.

I hope the latter is the case with you. Life would always keep being life, it is you who has to evolve, change and grow into the kind of person that needs to get your goals and dreams and aspirations achieved.

When you have a lot of dreams that seem scary to you now, that’s a good thing because it shows they aren’t things you are familiar with and you would have to evolve as an individual to achieve those goals.

Evolving doesn’t have to be a huge thing, it could be a little step taken consistently, it could be speaking to someone you look up to, or it could be taking a bet on yourself and pushing yourself to do big things. It means different things for different people but the central theme with evolving is that you are a better person than before.

When talking about fear, the first pivotal thing to tackle is your mindset. Read more on Mindset.

What is the default setting of your mind? Do you think you are enough or you think you can just manage out of life? Do you have the growth mindset or the fixed mindset? How do you see situations; do they define you or do you pick up lessons from them and move on to the next thing?

As a man thinks in his heart, so he is. It isn’t far-fetched, you need to see things in your mind and then visualize yourself as the person capable of doing and bringing those things to life.

You need to shut out the ‘mean person’ in your mind telling you, you aren’t good enough or you’ll never measure up.

Let the next six months of 2023 know that something has changed about you. All it takes is a simple resolve and then discipline and then commitment to change your life. Be aware of who you want to be and don’t sabotage yourself by comparing or doing what someone else is doing.

You would make mistakes but remember to bounce off strong from those mistakes. Pick your lessons right and move on.

Let your dreams be bigger than the fear you feel. Be inspired to open up yourself to possibilities that would not only change your life but transform the lives of those watching you and coming behind you. 

Do not be scared to be a pioneer, a unique and totally different person. You were made differently and it wouldn’t hurt anyone to see a different light shining. Don’t be too quick to blend in, find your own sauce.

Don’t be controlled by fear instead channel your energy to conquering your dreams and being the person you really are supposed to be. 

As always, I’m rooting for you. Shine!
