You don’t simply conquer a fear and think that’s the end of it. The fear stays with you throughout your life. However, how much that fear controls you is something you can do something about. I’ve been scared of many things ((still am)).
Heights, fortunately, isn’t that big of a deal, though I definitely dislike being in high places. Mainly because I can’t help but think of the worst possible event that could happen, and that would psyche me out. But usually not enough to the point I can’t do anything. Unless it’s a cliff, then I’m out.
Being alone is something that I consciously don’t think about, but deep down terrifies me. I get lonely easily, and while I’m good at brushing these things off, I get put off if I’m ignored. Or just alone in the house. I like to believe it’s something I can deal with, but until that happens ((which hopefully doesn’t)), I’ll never know.
These two, failure and rejection, aren’t necessarily fears, but are more of my own self-esteem issues. I had a hard time until just recently of getting over my own self-doubts and self-put-downs. It’s not as bad as it used to be, but it’s probably something that’ll stick with me forever. But as long as I can bring myself back, it shouldn’t become a problem.
For me, I am most fearful of heights because of many reasons due to my personality.
It scares me to be too far off from the ground and I then imagine things that would happen if I ever fall down that distance.
My imagination disturbs my mind very easily that I then think of myself falling off that high place and crashing down onto the hard stony floor below; then my bones crack and I will feel pain in all the parts of my body. Infact thinking of it now even chills me to the bones already.
When I find myself with this fear, my legs go weak and sweaty and I become paler than I have ever been. Due to this fear I make an iron grip onto whatever is near to me.
I would try to ignore my surrounding and try to think of anything else. I grip insanely hard on whatever I am holding. I also try to think of things to distract me. I finally figured out that imagination plays a big role in fear.
All in all, my dreadest fear is heights and it always will and does scare me to this day.
well siad
Their is a win in front of fear. All you need is to pass the bridge of fear and have success/win in life. Fear is our big enemy. Fear of unknown ceased your creativity and skill it make us demotivated and lose hopes. It is the silent killer of big dream.
My father had a severe car accident in young age. Fortuately he remained safe during accident but impact of accident created a fear which was so great that he didn't allow me to drive car. It's a big problem if you don't drive in metropolitan city. I was also in state of fear that i can't drive a car but thanks to Almighty God I over come my fear now i can easily drive a car. Every one can overcome fear as long he remains hopeful and optimistic. Thanks for sharing @czechglobalhosts
Thank you for sharing your story! I am glad to hear you have overcome your fear, that´s fantastic.
Hi Thomas, That's most interesting but hard to say quote as Jack Canfield. If I want something definitely other side has fear like as positive and negative thinking. Example:- I have planing to travel not using English language indeed country or Island. I want to see those state's or Island's geographical side. Other side I've fear how will I find un known places without native persons assistance. They know only their native language. But I know only International language. You need to think seriously. What do you feel if you face that moment? This is a serious issue. Thanks for giving me opportunity to telling my idea @czechglobalhosts.
Traveling is a great example of how to find the way to fight the fears you might have. It might be really hard for some while a piece of cake for others. Thank you for your thoughts.
Wow what an amazing post.Really loved the amazing quotation.We all have one fear in life all of us.We are afraid of something that we don't want to suffer anytime.But we don't know the real achievement after overcoming our fear.We know that it would be really hard to do it and it may seen impossible to you but you can overcome it.When we try to go to other side we have try one,two times and even more the we will the success.We can do anything if we try hard and focus on it.Thanks for sharing amazing quotation with us.@czechglobalhosts
The bottom line is to never give up:)... Thank you for your note on the subject.
osh, I think I could hit a softball after I had a (before& after beer ) in about..36 times lol
Yep...I took your article to mean keep putting out the inspiration that turns into quality content, but keep going even if you delete your article..like I did!
If fear could be personalized, what would it look like....to you...this is what I ask the Ballet dancers when I taught dance....I would ask them to draw it or write it out.
100 times...when I reach writing 100 articles let's see where we are then!
Fear is fearful that it won't have anything to fear L.S.
see the circle...been trying for years
Someone said this to me today and I found it very profound. Very few people are gung-ho all the time. Most of us have fears, insecurities and hurdles we must overcome to be successful. I for one am not immune to fear and how it can prevent your dreams from coming true. It can be relentless and lead to depression and anxiety.
yep, we all do but some of us can handle them with ease while other cannot... I hope you are fighting yours without any major difficulties.....
fear acts as a wall between success and failure
once you break this wall your world be alot more beautiful,
once you overcome the fear there is no stopping after that !
I like that, there is not stopping after that:)....
Fear is a natural response to danger. Most fears only exist in our mind and there is no real danger. If we flee from what frightens us, we will always maintain those feelings and emotions. It is necessary to learn to be able to face everything that comes our way. It seems simple but fear often paralyzes us and prevents us from being happy, everything is in the first step so that everything changes in our favor. Believing in ourselves is vital.
Very well said! Thank you for your insights!
This phrase is very true. I have lived many fears, one of them was to start my own business in the world of baking, although I am almost bachelor's degree in food technology and I have many skills that I could use, I was afraid that the results would not be as expected, if my clients could like what I prepared. However, I made that brave jump and started my first desserts, I lost expensive material but with the suggestions of my clients, the practice and with all the information that I read daily improved a lot, to such an extent that I am the official bakery of many clients. If I had not risked, I think I had not known the wonderful world that was on this side.
I am very happy you went forward with your dreams and become successful after all.... The best of luck to you:)
You are very right. I am a person who has learned throughout my life to make decisions, whether for good or for bad, has to take them. It is impossible to succeed without failure. If you want to achieve your goals and live your ideal life, you must risk failing, you just have to be brave and take the first step. Faced with my fears, I was able to find good and bad answers, but if I did not, I would possibly be thinking that it could have happened.
Good for you! I am very happy to hear that..... Wishing you the best of luck in your future endeavors....
I still didn't overcome the fear of swimming in 8 feet water, and I know whenever ill overcome this fear my inner soul will be at peace, well I've overcome my fear of being on height, being a traveler I mostly have to enjoy the view from heightened places here is one of it.

Thank you for sharing your fears with us. That is a great first step to shout it out to the public just like htat and not be afraid or ashamed of that.... The rest is in your head and with some practice and dedication you will be swimming in no time.... Swimming is a wonderful thing so do not let it get away from you... I wish you the best of luck.... Tomas
Thank you so much tomas for your motivational reply.
It’s a nice quote but fear isn’t a divider of actualization. Fear is a divider proximity. So, even though what I want is on the other side of fear, just becoming fearless doesn’t mean I can have it. Although it seems that the quote points in that direction, it’s sort of a misnomer. It might well better read, ‘everything you want is across the graves of those who gave up.’ Yeah I like that better. Dark and still somewhat inspirational, although I doubt grandma is going to hang that picture on her wall in the knitting room.

Actually that story correct.Because of other side of the fear is what we need thing.In our freedom we can do.
For the fear lot of thing, can be missing and fail.My feeling is for what we have to be the fear.If some thing we don't know we can study it, learn it, get experience from it.
Fear is what we are understanding is wrong to the mind.
Fear is a very small thing, what you make of it or allow it to become is a quite different thing, ones mind can just acknowledge it and reasonably react to it or allow it to take control and overcome any reasonable actions or judgement.
Simply put , fear leads to no accomplishment. On the other hand of fear is success; those who inculcate fear do not even try to make an attempt because they already see themselves not fit to achieve. Those who abhor fear always succeed. They have the "can do spirit" and they always try to use all means humanly possible to achieve their dreams.
Today's appointment really consoles us, we were not born with fear but we learn it when we are older, so it is preferable in many cases to become deaf and blind because the opinions of others affect us a lot and slow us down in what I want to do. The biggest fear we have is to face reality and ourselves, the most important thing is to know ourselves and know what we are capable of and overcome obstacles little by little. After a while we will see how strong we are.
Facing one’s fears is a very important part of life, it really helps overcome a lot
When we connect to our interior we discover our treasures and when the fears appear we must not let ourselves be influenced by the shadow that the fear projects.
Fear accompanies us throughout our lives and takes different forms; As children we are afraid of the dark, in adolescence we are afraid of social rejection, and as we grow up we are afraid to face reality and, above all, face ourselves.
Being afraid leads us to enter a dead end street where what paralyzes us is becoming bigger, if we do not overcome them we stop doing important things for our lives.
Your fear is your enemy.
and don't let your enemy destroy you.
Fear is nothing but just a misconception of your mind.
You start fearing things when you were a kid, Maybe someone.
makes you fear from darkness, maybe someone make you fear dogs, and with the passage of time, this fear grow bigger and then it starts making obstacles in your progress. that's where we need to realize,
fear is nothing but a misconception of your mind :)
You’ve just told my love life sir
I really want to do this but I'm so worried.
I would really want my year to be different in 2018, have you taken stock yet? Or started living a life by design?
Truly the most comfortable part of life is to be in the comfort zone.
This quote is true ...
We often can not beat the fear so we stagnate in life ...
Our own comfort zone is one of our biggest hurdles in life ...
Have a great day, dear Tom @czechglobalhosts ...☕☕❤
Oh yes, that true!
In the end it comes to down to overcoming that which stops us from where we want to be. For the most part it is the fear.
Fear of leaving where we are, fear being we want to be................ hell sometimes it's fear of not knowing if we'll ever get there. It be one of the million iterations of that same thing -fear.
I think once that's gone your feet become steadier, your stride a little more confident, your shoulders a little broader and your head a little higher. In essence you become the man that can reach there.
No wonder we find it incredibly hard to overcome it. If it were easy, then most of us would be a lot happier.............
This quote is the absolute truth !!!
I do fear a lot thinking about supernatural powers and because of this, I can't sleep alone. I used to sleep in my friend's room.
Just because of this I used to sleep at late nights chatting with him and wake late in the morning.....I used to miss my breakfast and morning class btw I'm an engineering student...
In the daytime, I imbibe a lot of confidence but at night I feel down.....
To be frank I dug this fear into the soil after reading a book, thanks to that.
Fear is just a minor thing which stops us from excelling. If we somehow overcome our fears our confidence will boost. When confidence will boost, we can achieve the impossible.
Personally I'm not one to fear but lately i have been going through a new kind of fear which is the fear of failure in my relationship. Ive had so many relationships that has failed due to one issue or the other this has lead to blme being single for the past two(2) years. Now I have a lady I am interested in and I am afraid to date her because of my previous experience.
We should do one thing that scares us everyday...
Ahhhh! Great quote to be reminded of at the moment...
Getting out of our comfort zones is imperative if you want to experience the juice in life!
Thanks for the reminder...
What I feel is, if wee keep fearing and doesn't get into something we are living a useless life. The real thing is when we try to become brave by putting our fears aside and jump into it.
Well, we won't know until we try right?
Hi Tomas! I think that in order to achieve the goal it is enough to defeat your complexes and fears. And be yourself. And the most important thing is never to give up, choosing the path to go on it to the end and reach final destination!
fear is a state of mind that actually stops you to achieve something bigy. Yes,due to this state of mind several brilliant minds remain closed to share the wonderful ideas, just because of their comfort zones.
I do personally feel that success can not be achieved through ease, it really demands passion and courage to face the toughness of life with confident arms.
Jut remember, Fear is a state which will put more hurdles in your path, leads to success,if you really wants to be a successful person in your life then be a fearless !!
I agree. I'm very happy with my life right now.
I left my home country 4 years ago to start a new life in another continent, one that boasts a complete lack of countries that speak any of my two native tongues. I came over alone.
Today, people keep asking me: Do you miss your family? Do you find learning Spanish hard? Do you miss the food in your hometown? It must be difficult to "do whatever I did".
Looking back with the benefit of hindsight, I think the only thing I ever did that could be classified as "difficult" is deciding to buy the plane ticket. Once that's done and dusted, everything else that follows is a combination of a pressure to see the whole plan through and a pressure to demostrate success.
Today I am studying mathematics as an undergrad in a completely foreign country using a completely foreign tongue with classmates half my age, and no one is any wiser. I have adapted. I have integrated.
I am happy because I am here by choice, not by chance of birth.
