Have you ever had to face fear? Sometimes there are little things that make us afraid but sometimes it’ll be the big things. You’ll always have to face fear in life. It’s just a part of it but most people just freeze. They tend to overthink everything because they’re not brave enough. They avoid it because they’re afraid to leave the herd that’s called society. In every decision that you make there’s an element of fun. Find the fun part and you’ll don’t want to do anything else in life. You can even do shit jobs and make it enjoyable. Let me guide you through your fear.
Fear and my own life
It’s almost a year ago that I decided to drop out of college and it was a big decision. There was an element of fear I can guarantee you that. My mindset wasn’t like it is today but I eventually did it. I felt so happy once I announced it to my family. They were shocked but I had to do it. Life only got better since I did it; I’m not a fan of our educational system. Let me share with you a quote from my grandmother: Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one. She’s right you know. You just have to say I’m going to do this and never look back. You have to be bold and daring. But do you know why? Because you’re stronger than you feel, smarter than you think and you’re braver than you believe.
It’s all a matter of perception. Sometimes you get to go through your fear to see the beauty on the other side. I have a completely different perception of the world. I can go outside and look at the sky and enjoy every second of it. Most people don’t realize it but the sky can be extremely beautiful. Only kids and open-minded people notice it. All the others are hate towards others and have no clue what they’re missing.
Fear and life in general
I once wrote a post that’s called: “Do you feel cheated by life? You do? Why?” It’s one of the most popular posts on this blog because most people feel cheated by life. They treat life like a spectator sport and they watch life go by. They arrive at a certain age and suddenly realize that this isn’t life. Those regret the things the most that they didn’t do. Most people didn’t do things because of fear. Those people neglect the fact that they’re going to die and they suddenly realize it when they’re going to die. Most people like to watch The Walking Dead because they’re part of those zombies. They’re not living life at its fullest.
But Alex I really can’t cope with fear
Did you know that I do MMA? It’s my biggest obsession and I’m going to compete. I just need competition because I will outwork everybody just to get what I want. So I’m going to fight in a cage which may sound extremely crazy to people. Most people ask me if I’ll be afraid when I’ll have to do it. I could say no and serve my ego but I would be lying. Of course I’ll be afraid.
You can’t get rid of fear just like you can’t get rid of Mother Nature. You can’t beat or outrun it but you can push through it. In this way, you can find out what you’re made off. Your fear should fuel you to make sure that you’ve got the best performance of your life. Fear is not that bad, to be honest. The only thing that you have to do is control your breath. Just relax, be present at the moment and do what you’ve got to do. Kick some ass and remember that you’ve always got to follow your gut feeling. You either run from it or learn from it and you can’t run forever.
Fear and your dreams/goals in life
Do you know what you’ve got to be? Imaginative, stronghearted. You must constantly try new thing and sometimes you’ll win and sometimes you’ll lose. But don’t let anyone define your limits because of where you come from. Your only limit is your imagination. It’s all a matter of perception. You can because most people assume that they can’t. Just go and live your dream. Remember this line: Because you’re stronger than you feel, smarter than you think and you’re braver than you believe. That’s what it’s all about. Hard work is what it takes for God’s sake. Take your place in the circle of life.
So what are we going to do? We’re going to keep moving forward because nothing is impossible. Even miracles take a little time. Adventure is out there. Let’s end this post with a great quote that will bring some precious childhood memories back.
‘If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing started with a dream and a mouse.’ Walt Disney
Enjoy all your precious childhood memories and dreams that come back alive.
