‘Trouble hits and we run away, only to discover there’s no escape. Our lives reach a climax of events where we must make a decision. If we’re going to make it, then we need a new strength.’- Chris Hodges
Do not run away from what you are facing. Do not ignore what is going on in your life. To reduce it, you must face it. To reduce its power over you, you must deal with it. And to deal with it, you must face it.
Facing it means doing something about it. Whether you are going through something small or something big, if you do not do something about it, it will only get bigger, not smaller.
That is why you shouldn’t leave your problem alone. Because what you are going through is not going to fix itself. If you do not like it, you do not want to experience it, you must do something about it.
You are not alone. You are going to go through your fears. You are not going to be messed up by your fears. You are better, bigger than your fears.
If you want to get something done, understand that fear is going to show up anyway. You can’t stop fear from being fear. But do not let it stop you from moving forward.
Face it. Take small actions. Do not overthink things. If you have something in front of you, even if you have not done it before, do not overthink it. Do it!
You have nothing to lose. But you have learning to gain. It is better to try than not. Because we grow when we try. We get better when we face our fears. We get smarter when we try new things, when we meet new people, and when we think new thoughts.
If you have been too scared to move out of your comfort zone, if you have been too scared to take more risks, to challenge your assumptions, to face your demons, to do what you love to do, to search for a new job, to take a new course, to read new books, to visit new places, not because you do not know what you want, but because you don’t know who you are, facing your fears will make life easier for you to live.
Facing your fears is the only way forward. If you don’t want your fear to kill you, you must get ahead of your fear.
But you are not going to be able to remove your fears from your life. That is not going to happen. You are not going to be able to overcome your fears by avoiding them. You are not going to be able to overcome your fears by doing nothing.
To face your fear, you must have the courage to stand before your fear. Because without fear, your courage won’t grow. Fear makes courage possible.
You get things done when you face your fears, when you say, ‘enough is enough’. No matter what is standing in front of me, I am going to go forward. I am going to press on. I am not going to say no to my dreams.’
Do you have the courage to face your fears? If not, why not? What are you doing about it?
