FEAR

                                            FEAR

 Fear is the one of the most deadly enemies of humanity. However, the most surprising thing that man out of his own questioning mind creates this fear. It does not come from anywhere outside. It has no existence of its own. It is only a creation of one's wild and uncontrolled imagination. One's mind is the only residence of fear. Therefore, to get rid of fear, remove it from your mind and you'll find it nowhere in your life.

  Fear is the most common negative emotion felt by human kind. These do not allow a person to relish and enjoy life. They become obstacles in the smooth running of our life even when you have everything in your favor.

  It is very necessary for us to overcome our fears because they do not allow us to live our lives with complete fulfillment. Just preaching to sermons from some sacred books will not conquer the fears of life. You need to understand the root cause of the fear and then search for some solution. ''Nothing in life should be feared, it is only to be understood.

  If you notice, a fellow is always with you, he is with you day and night, and he follows you were ever you go. Probably, he may be sitting beside you even at this moment while you are reading this article, in the evening, when you relax in a pleasant park for a while, you forget this fellow for some time, but you suddenly remember him and find him beside you. This fellow is none other than the fear in your mind. Through this I want to explain that fear is with you as long as you make a conscious effort to be aware of it. Once you relax yourself and divert your mind towards other things, it automatically disappears.

  Sometimes, instead of fear following you, you start following fear. This fear takes control of your mind and enjoys full power over you. This is because you have given it a lot of importance in your life. You have given it so much power that it has now become your master.

  Fear is our greatest enemy. It is a thief who robs you of your joy, happiness, contentment and peace. Living a life with a fear is a miserable life. You must conquer your fears if you wish to enjoy your life to its fullest.

Many a time, a person has a fear of losing something he has or has achieved.

·          Fear of losing a job.

·         Fear of losing near or dear ones

·         Fear of losing money, status or fame

·         Fear of losing some precious things

 We must try to get out of mess of such fears that engulf us by identifying them through careful examination of our thoughts, feelings and find reasons and causes of our fears.

  There could be many others fears like;

·       Fear of being robbed

·       Fear of failure

·       Fear of being insulted

·       Fear of public speaking

·       Fear of being attacked

·       Fear of separation from somebody or something

·       Fear of an accident

·       Fear of being reject

·       Fear of death

  The list could be as long as you and I wish. However, these fears can be conquered. All these fears exist only in the mind. You need to uproot the fear in your mind and thus its stop growing. Therefore, to control fear, you actually control your mind and imagination. Fears are nothing but thought and they always reside in a weak and questioning mind. They won't dare to stand against a strong and firm mind. So now, it depends upon you. Do you want to fear reside in your mind?

   Robert Jones Burdette said, ''There are two days in the week about which and on which I never worry. Two carefree days kept sacredly free from tension and apprehension. One of these days is Yesterday and the other day I do not worry about is Tomorrow.''

  If there is a fear in you, it would be the fear of doing something evil. So let us rise every morning and make the following resolve for the day:

                       I shall not fear anyone on earth.

                             I shall fear only God.

                     I shall not bear ill will towards anyone.

                               I shall not submit to injustice to anyone.

                   I shall conquer untruth by truth.

                                        And in resisting untruth.

                  I shall put up with all my suffering.

                   I shall use my fear to help me to focus on my strength.

                           I shall defeat fear by believing in myself.
