FEAR

We all have fear about something in this world. The fear of water, height, loosing people, darkness, rejections etc. It can be anything. Have you ever tried to overcome your fear? Do you feel like making an attempt?

It is remarkable if you want to make an attempt. Only when you come out of fear you become dynamic which will make to a better person. When you get scared of something, it becomes your weakness that will not help you to see the other side of the box.

I was a person who was scared of darkness. I always wanted to know how would it be to get inside a dark room or how will it be if I was left alone there. My brother knew that I had a fear of darkness and he said “if you cant overcome fear of this simple thing then you cant face many things”.

I thought of making an attempt but couldn’t because when the heartbeat rises up as if it would pop out. One evening we were playing cards and the current was off. I held my brothers hand promptly and he asked me to sit quietly so that he will bring a candle. He left me alone. When he left he shut the door and asked me to stay in the dark and see what happens. My heartbeat started rising up and when he came in, he found me fainted on the floor.

When I opened my eyes he said its ok and left the room. I knew that he was worried and upset at the same time. I felt embarrassed. In another two days I wanted to take an attempt. I went to my brother and asked him to lock me in the dark room again where there are no windows.

I went inside and asked him to lock. The room I went inside had no light, no windows. It is the darkest room in my home. My heartbeat started rising up again but this time fortunately I started convencing myself stating “Its ok. Its nothing”. I opened my eyes slowly and started walking.

My brother opened the door and told me “ you did it”. He said it was an hour that he left me in. It was incredible and I was flabbergasted. Gradually I started sleeping alone, staying at home alone, going out alone, walking at night alone. Today I am not scared of anything. I am feeling strong, bold and I have the guts to face anything.

I can accept challenges, success, failure, rejections and what not. This fear in our mind is a block that doesn’t let us see the other things behind it. Don’t restrict yourself from taking an attempt to learn new things.

LET NOT VICTORY TOUCH YOUR HEAD NOR DEFEAT TOUCH YOUR HEART.
