"An extreme or irrational fear
of aversion of something."
A phobia which is a form of fear. Many in the world of today suffer from phobia.
"A man was on his deathbed with his life hanging on a string. His wealth would soon be scattered by his good for nothing sons. Not that he feared death but feared his sons inheriting his property and losing his hard-earned money.
He revealed his fears to the doctor who summoned his sons. The doctor told the man that he will die anyway. The dead have no power of controlling property. Instead of dying intestate, it is better he leaves inheritance in the hands of the sons.
After the sons promising to be good managers, an attorney was brought in and soon the will was signed. The man heaved a sigh and went into deep sleep. That was a turning point of his life. He recovered fully and became an overseer as his sons became successful business managers."
'Fear not, fear not, thy. wedding guest, this body dropest not down.'
These words from 'Ancient Mariner' describes it all. We have no time, space or even an opportunity to fear. This Ancient Mariner was in a state where nearly all the crew of his ship laid dead on the deck. The wedding guest was going too. Yet the Ancient Mariner remained positive.
Being afraid of someone or
as likely to be dangerous,
painful or threatening.
That is fear. You get the jitters. One gets cold feet or cold sweat. You get doubt, dread or become fainthearted. Fear is a phobia, an anxiety, worry and discomposure. Wow! All words here are bad. They do not in any way reassure one. Yet there is reasurrance. Fear can be managed.
How can one live in a hallucinatory mind? You need to live life but not to live your mind. Your mind is not your life. Come out of it. That disquietude is not doing justice to you and your life. It is turning you into a hopeless creep.
What Do You Fear?
.Pursuing Goals.
Do you fear to pursue goals. You think you will not succeed or achieve them. Many have had that fear, yet some succeeded and others did. Nut life continued.
.Dreams
Do you fear to pursue your dreams? People dream and wake up to realize their dreams. You are not the first to have them, neither are you the last.
.Pursuing Your Ambitions
Because If You Fail People
Will Laugh At You.
You are not the first to fail and be laughed at. The Wright Brothers failed and were laughed at. Yet they brought the revolution of the aeroplane. Those who laugh never try. They want you to look like them, failures. Do you want to give them the pleasure? Of course not.
.Are You Afraid Of Personal
Challenges?
Each and everybody has challenges. You are not the only one.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson
Fear Management
The most important advice any person can give you is,
You are the architect and
Engineer of your life, how
you construct it is how it will
Be.
I do not know how that fear began in your life? You know it better. Maybe you tried and failed. Maybe somebody else did. Is it something that happened in your life that caused it? I think now you know.
Identify the cause of the fear.
Where is that fear leading you? Is it making you a better person? It is not even making you enjoy your life. You are a wreck due to it. You have lost your real worth. Your value has gone down just because of a hallucination.
Understand The Fear Is
Not Helping You.
Now how can you manage it? Maybe yoga will help ease the tension and anxiety. What you are afraid to happen may be of ratio 1:1,000,000. It is a rare occurrance. Stop worrying and fearing it. It will not happen.
Look For How To Manage
The Fear.
Outlined above are three ways on how to manage your fear. The question remains whether there is good fear?
There is only one good fear. The bible clearly outlines this good fear.
Awe and reverence to God.
That is the good fear. God wants us to fear Him only. It can also be termed as the beginning of wisdom.
Here are its fruits:
.Proverbs 19:23 Fountain of Life.
.Proverbs 1:7 It gives Life, Rest, peace and contentment.
.Proverbs 14:27 Security and Safety.
Therefore with this new fear you drive out the power of the other fear. I know God is there for you. You have no place to fear.
