The art of being fearful

Whenever l heard the word "fear" it reminds me of a story I heard about a couple in bed late one night. The husband was dead asleep until his wife jabbed him in the ribs, saying, “John, wake up. I hear a burglar downstairs. John, wake up!”

“Okay, okay,” said John as he sat up on the edge of the bed and searched for his slippers for what seemed like the ten-thousandth time. “I’m up.” He grabbed his robe and stumbled groggily out into the hall and down the stairs. When he reached the bottom step, he found himself staring into the barrel of a gun. “Hold it right there, buddy,” a voice said firmly from behind a ski mask. “Show me where the valuables are.” John did. When the burglar had his bag full and was getting ready to leave, John said, “Wait. Before you go, could you go up and meet my wife? She’s been expecting you every night for more than thirty years.”

l live in the same hood with my girlfriend. When she is coming from work every night, she always passes through a house which is at the corner of the street & there is a big black dog which always barks & chases her. The process always repeat, the dog does not bark or chase other people it only chases her only because it knows her weakness of fear of dogs. One day, she was tired of being afraid of this big dog, the dog came to her running like always & she lifted a stone, trying to hit the dog's head. When the dog came closer, she realized the dog had no teeth & she put the stone down & start laughing of how foolish she was.

Ladies & gentlemen every day in our lives we are always running scared from things which do us no harm. According to my research, when l asked people their greatest fear is, the most frequent response is dying & second most frequent is public speak. l was listening to Zig Zagler motivational speech he defined FEAR as False Evidence Appearing Real.

Fear kills dreams, fear kills hope, fear can hold you back & paralyze you. Fear is what keeps you stuck on where you are right now. Fear is stopping you from getting the girl of your dream. Fear of failure is discouraging you to chase your dreams. One of my greatest fears when l was growing up was public speaking. After l identified my fear l spend hours & hours reading a book called "Public speaking for success" by Dale Carnegie. After completing the course l develop unstoppable courage to speak on public. My favorite thing in the world right now is to speak on public. ldentify where your fear comes from & take calculated action to face it.

In conclusion, the only way to be fearless is to do things that you fear doing.
