When Fear Comes Calling

 

 When Fear Comes Calling


When fear comes calling it can become difficult to keep learning and growing. Fear of failure or fear of the unknown can hold us back from our passions, hobbies, and career choices. It's natural to feel some anxiety or apprehension before taking a leap, but the way to conquer these fears is with action, persistence, and patience. Here are some tips to help you break free!

When fear comes calling it is easy for it to scare us into hiding in our rooms instead of stepping outside and going for what we really want. But a little push from what scares us can make all the difference in the world. Fear of failure is a great example of how you can use your fears to your advantage.

It's easy to be scared of the consequences if you give something your all. What if you make the wrong choice? What if everyone laughs at you? What if it doesn't work out? But when push comes to shove, it is these fears that are just distractions from what is actually happening. Fear does not stop you from doing things (if anything, it motivates you). Realize that fear stops many people from trying in utter chaos, but when things are a little less insane and chaotic it makes us stop and think about what we really want and why we think this thing is going to be successful.

Now, fear is a natural emotion. The reality is that everyone has fears, but we don't have to let them hold us down. Life happens, things change, and we need to know that it's okay to make mistakes and fail. This is especially true if you're learning something new. Many people learn from their mistakes and move on with a lesson learned from the experience of failure. Someone who can fail a lot without being discouraged will probably become one of the strongest people out there simply because they are willing to give themselves chances that others are not willing to take.

Doing things without fear may be scary, but the fear is not real. What we are afraid of isn't going to happen and what happens next is totally up to us. We have complete control over our own lives and our own reality, no matter what someone else might try to tell us or what is happening around us. If you believe in a goal this can help keep you motivated. If you believe that the worst thing that could happen is not doing well all of a sudden it will feel like something worth trying for and it may just be enough to push you through the barriers that were holding you back.

We have to realize that our own failure will not put us down, but it will make us stronger. We are human beings and we are going to fail from time to time. We aren't perfect, and this isn't about being perfect for the sake of it. It's about thinking about what the worst thing is that could happen and if we can handle it when the time comes. The worst thing than could happen is you don't try at all, which will probably make you even more afraid of trying in the future.

The best way to conquer your fears is with action, persistence, and patience. Try to focus on the things that you like, not the things you don't. Check out some of the positive lessons that we can learn from our fears and start thinking about what is going on inside your own head when you have those fearful thoughts.

The more you push through your fears, the more likely they will start to fade away. Trying new things and pushing yourself to do better are both great ways to learn from your fears and conquer them so that you can be happier in this world. If what you want is really important for you then it's worth trying for no matter how hard it might seem or how scared of failure people tell you are.

In conclusion, remember this simple fact. Fear is a natural emotion but it is not the end of the world. To move forward and make progress in life you have to learn to accept fear and control it at the same time. Learn to let fear push you, but don't allow it to stop you from doing what you really want in this life.

Related Posts The Good and the Bad of "The Craft" I remember when I first saw the movie "The Craft". It was in the mid 90's and I was young, probably too young to see it, but whatever.  The whole movie really creeped me out in a way that made me curious. Don't get me wrong- I'm not talking about the sort of creepiness you might find in a slasher film, but there was something about it that seemed to get deep inside of me. There is an incredibly dark feel to this film which is what drew me in and made me want to watch more and more. This is where things start to get a little strange...is my experience. More than 20 years later, this movie is still keeping a small part of me intrigued.  I've always been kind of fascinated with the idea of witchcraft and black magic and the whole very ominous feel of this film is what keeps drawing me back to it.  Sure there are other movies that do similar things but none really have that creepy feeling that I feel certain parts hold on to for too long. It's almost like when you're trying to fall asleep, but the alarm clock goes off and you can't quite get back to sleep any more because your mind is racing with thoughts you know won't help you go deeper into sleep...that's about it. I'm not entirely sure why I watch this movie, but it's almost like a morbid fascination that keeps drawing me back to it. As if a part of me is hoping that there will be some deeper meaning that I can discover and understand which might help me further understand myself, why I am the way I am and more importantly- how to change.  Maybe one day I will find the answers in this movie, but for now- all I can really do is keep watching...

I'm starting over here on WordPress after being pretty much off of here for a long time.

Conclusion

There are a lot of really good ideas on this site, but I felt that if I were able to do it over again, the site itself would be very different... Here's one thing that I definitely would do differently:

The Site Design

I started the blog with the intention of building up to selling it...and still might. But at some point along the way, I noticed that my readership was getting a little more perverted than usual- so there goes my plans of eventually making money off of this blog.  So as a result I've decided to spruce up the overall design in hopes that it will get me some new readers and actually draw in people who will purchase something from me.
