There is a continuous battle in the mind of every individual; it's a battle every individual gets to fight always in the mind yet most of the times this FEAR has a conquering power.
It was far back my secondary days, I love coconut candy so much and my lovely friend was a great lover of coconut candy as well. We were two great friends who enjoyed every candy moment we had with each other.
We could always use our last cash even for candy we loved it so much that the thought of not getting coconut candy in the break period was dreadful as candy was our very own delight.
When my friends mother began to see our love for coconut candy, she set out to teach us how to make coconut candy, we graciously took the opportunity and learnt how to make coconut candy.
We almost set out to start making our candies for my school just that we had fears that people may not buy our candies because we were young and we had just learnt at this time.
The next week a younger student in my school made her coconut candy and started selling and she made a lot of money until everything was sold out.
My friend and I even bought from her coconut candy it was nice, but we knew our candies will be better if we only came around to sell or even made the move of going ahead to even start making our own candies.
Simple question: why Didn't we start making our own candies?
Simple answer: FEAR.
The reason why many business ideas never start up is because of the four lettered word called FEAR.
FEAR has a way of making someone feel inadequate for what he or she can ordinarily do.
*FEAR has a thousand and one reasons why you shouldn't start up and I don't know why people seem to believe fear rather than believe on themselves.
FEAR happens to be more comfortable after all fear never wants you to start it wants you to relax rather than starting out and pursuing your dreams.
FEAR has a way of knocking down its victims down.
FEAR never cares it penetrates even the mighty and the same time keeps the young ones from rising to their full potentials.
FEAR usually attacks the mind of its victims by sending the I can't do it thought to its audience and very soon the audience buys into the thought and from there fear works a fearful knockdown on the victims.
However if we must counter FEAR we must take on the shield of boldness and never hear the voice of FEAR.
If we must counter FEAR, we must take our focus away from the things that makes it impossible for us and begin to focus on our possibilities.
If anyone wants to succeed in life and business He or she must build a strong resilient shield against fear.
