Fear

What is fear?

According to the free dictionary on Google,the definition of "fear" is a feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger.

Mankind lives in fear almost every day.As we,human being,growing older and older,we began to think more complicatedly.We seen problems as disaster rather than to learn or benefit from it.The afflictions and fears overwhelmed us when problems formed.Some of us might have adequate courage to face or deal with it,but most of us chose to escape or avoiding it like an influenza instead of a good chance to gain experience.For an instance,senior citizens fear of death or sicknesses,adults fear of the financial problems whereas adolescent or teenagers fear of the examinations carried out by the school authorities.

What is the major cause of this common "illness" (fear) which infected almost every persons in this world?

The only answer is:We does not have the courage to face and deal with problems efficiently.

That is the reason why human being always survived in a threatening circumstance.We grew up and be skillful in escape from fear.

In order to overcome this kind of problems,we should try to accomplish something that we feared of.For an example,drawing a picture or portrait.The subconscious of our mind would tell us that we could not probably do that successfully.In that case,we got the message that "We could not do that." and determined to quit the task.Oppositely,what if we (our subconscious minds) tell us that "You could not possibly do that." but we keep assuring ourselves that "I can make it.",what would the task turn out to be in the end?It goes without saying that we would have accomplished the tasks successfully!Doesn't it seems like a magic?Actually it is the simplest and most effective way to avoid procrastination and overcome fear too.

Some quotations on the subject of "Fear":
The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.
The key to change... is to let go of fear.
Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something.
