Don’t allow anxiety to be a barrier that keeps you from
achieving your full potential.
Tagline of ‘After Earth’ movie: “Danger is Real, Fear is
a Choice”
We all have the power to make
our own choices in life. But do the
choices include the power over our emotions?
Fear is an almighty, overwhelming emotion. Love and anger are the other two strong
emotions that either creep in or overwhelm us at the most inopportune moment. Anger has been the most difficult to
acknowledge when it comes around. Love is
at most times, a positive feeling that most people embrace without second
thought. Fear on the other hand is a
feeling or thought that is almost always present.
Marketing guru, Seth Gordin said
that fearless is not the same as the absence of fear. The fearless person is well aware of the fear
they face. The fear becomes a compass
for them to know what to do next. The fearless
person sees the world as it is and makes smart decisions. Different people have a different definition of
fear. It is most important to
acknowledge what truly scares us.
Quotation from Yuri, Xandra Ooi’s
husband:
If you
are angry, you are living in the past
If you
are anxious, you are living in the future
The past
does not exists other than in your head
So being
angry is bringing the mind back to the past
The future
obviously doesn’t exist yet
Worry or
fear is a thing of the future
One of
the best thing in life is to practice being in the present
Luck plays a big role is any
form of success. But luck only arrives
when we are brave enough to place ourselves in a position to accept it. Whether or not we let anxiety and fear govern
our decisions is indeed a choice. Don’t
let fear take your power away.
