This is obviously a fun and interesting topic to talk about. Even though till today, I still find it difficult to identify something that scares me the most. This is because a lot of them is on my fear list and sometimes, one is not always more than the other. But I will just talk about the one I feel is very much scary to me for the purpose of this blog.
Generally, I see fear as something relative to the function of an individual which can be based upon anything. In most cases, some people will simply refer fear to as ”false evidence appearing real”. Whichever way it is, fear is something that is gonna freak you out. And one of my fear experiences is something I do not know what word to really classify it as. Because it has existed for a long time in me. And even though I got over it to some extent, I still ponder round upon it once in a while. And it's simply nothing than the fear of growing up.
THE REAL DEAL
There is this popular slang they used to classify this recently over here; ““Adulthood na Scam”. It means adulthood is a scam. Although, this is also a function of individuality. And many people use the slang without really knowing deeply what the term truly signifies.
But that is that by the way. I was really disturbed with what my adulthood is going to look like while I was growing up as a kid. A kid who already had some sense of reasoning. I do imagine things like this almost all of the time. And what I think most about is simply how I am going to begin a kind of life where I will have to fund almost and if not all the whole bills and responsibilities of the family. Raising kids, and every other thing that may belong to being a responsible person especially as a grown up matured man.
While all of these things are something that is almost inevitable and you can’t dodge from happening, you just need to accept the responsibility as soon as possible. And as I continue to grow, I've realized that what I really fear is not settling big responsibilities, bills, etc. I got to realize that the real fear is not even in any of those things. The real fear comes from you knowing how to make good money for yourself at least for a start in your adulthood journey.
And here is why; if you are making enough money, any of those things will be your least problem. Which is actually the fact. Having financial commitments and settling them will never be a problem if your level of income is far more than your financial commitments. So, I quickly realized that the real fear is knowing how to work hard enough in order to curb any form of financial stress at least.
CONCLUSION
Since this is now clearly known to me, I have since then always jump on any opportunity I know that can improve my financial game either now or in the future. And what I do most of the time is simply investing in myself, improving my current level of knowledge in financial education and personal development. And it's because I see this as the greatest investment you can ever make in yourself.
