What do you lose if you're afraid?
You miss opportunities to grow, to reach new heights or abilities. Instead of enjoying and taking advantage of them, you will always be retreating.
You lose new knowledges and experiences that would create a new, broader vision of everything that surrounds you.
You lose the respect and appreciation of others, but also the image and self-esteem.
What do you win?
Regress. A well-deserved place in the back. You become a specialist in delays and delays of all kinds. You will lose thousands of times staying than acting.
When the fear occurs?
Fear often comes when the lack of control appears, which is an exaggerated feeling. Not all things are under our sway, and this must be accepted.
If your neighbor on the fourth floor chooses to play hard music, and you want to enjoy peace, your freedom is already limited, appearing concessions. One of you, or both of you will not be able to express their freedom in an absolute way. What about events that go beyond any kind of control? How can you stop an earthquake?
