Before you start your journey, you must conquer yourself. You must conquer your ego. Ego is the issue with us. You don’t need to conquer the world, but you need to conquer yourself. Without that, you can’t do anything.

Marcus Aurelius said, “Yes, you can- if you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you.” Don’t let your emotions control your decisions. For example, when you are angry, don’t make any decisions. Because anger is bad. It is a bad emotion. If you allow it to control you, it will mess you up.

When you are angry, try to focus on something that will make you feel really better about the situation. Learn to master your own emotions. If you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer your emotions. If you want to conquer other people, you must first conquer your emotions. Because you are your master.

“… The enemy is just as frightened as you are, and probably more so. They are not superman.”- George S. Patton

That is exactly how you should treat your fears. They are not superman. It is okay to fear something, but don’t be paralyzed by it. Don’t ignore your future because of fear. Don’t let go of opportunities because of fear. You must find a way to work with your fear. You can’t cure your fear, but you can work with it.

Stay positive. Believe in yourself. Believe that fear cannot stop you from reaching your goals. We all fear something. But you can put an end to it. You can change how you see your fear. Don’t feed your fear, starve it. When you look at your fear differently, the size of your fear will change. You must do that if you are to enjoy your journey to the other side of life. The better side.

To get to the better side of life, you must first conquer your fear. You must look fear in the eye. You must find a way to walk past it. You must take action. Action cures fear. If you want to take advantage of fear, take action.

You can also conquer your fear with love and compassion. Fear cannot stand love. Love is calm, strong, and productive. Love is healthier, wealthier, and nicer than fear. The root of love is untouchable. So if you want to really deal with your fear, practice the art of love. Share love, not fear. Love will put you in the right direction. Fear, on the other hand, will put you in the direction of anxiety. No matter what, love always wins.

If you don’t handle fear, it will handle you. To prevent that, you must work with it. You must conquer it. Don’t let it stop you from pursuing your goal. Don’t talk yourself out of your goal. We do that when we are scared of facing our fears. If you can deal with your fear today, tomorrow is yours.
