I like to believe that we are in control of our own thoughts and feelings, and even though they might come and go as they please, we can to all extend attract them or keep them from our mind.
We can control our fear, despite the feelings of anxiety and agitation; it is up to us to not be doubtful. To fear is a choice, and with this said we actually choose to be afraid of the wrong things.
We fear danger, evil, pain and the unknown. Mostly we fear what people will think, disappointment and death.
These things are however uncontrollable to most extend. We cannot turn back time but we can try to correct on the mistakes we make, and live our lives in such a way that we are motivated, committed, positive and proud of each new project we take on - this in fact, gives us power to constantly improve ourselves as human beings.
Most fear develops internally from our mind, our way of thought based on beliefs, perceptions, knowledge and experience.
I believe we then neglect fear of the truth.
As we are in control of it, our fear tends to be selfish. We fear not enough for global warming or water pollution that could rob us from our water resource, our health and our survival. We do not fear the loss of a distinct species that our grandchildren might never see alive.
So do not be afraid of fear but be afraid to fear the wrong things. Rather try to think about those things we so often neglect to think about, but is so worth our fear.
Interesting and enjoyed reading this post. This is so true. We often fear the wrong things and we should not let fear control us.
