Can we get away from the stronghold of fear?

In today’s hangout, we will be vetting over the extreme swings of fear & if we can cede a middle ground.

Fear is one of the most crippling of the forces, that gravitates even the greatest of go-getters! What keeps you from reaching your full potential? It is fear. What keeps you from becoming what you intend to become? It is fear. What keeps you from living an authentic life? It is fear.

Fear can be captured in three snapshots:

· Self-doubt- “What if, I fail? Will I be able crack the exam? Can I, justify my past track record? Such, doubts unnerve one’s confidence from giving their best. The self-doubt of failure is worse than, failure itself.

Don’t let self-doubt let you down. It is far better to give your best & fail, than to withdraw & curl up in fear.

· Self-conscious: Identifying your individuality is far more vital to blow the lid of fear. Being conscious of the self enables us, to be more realistic in life without drawing lopsided parallels within our peer groups. By such acts, we unintentionally rush in, to win other’s approval & try to live in other’s dream!

We are not called upon to be the Greatest of all times, we are called upon to be the best of what we are endowed with, at any given point in time.

· Self-pity: Setbacks dents us in the pigeonhole of self-pity. There is always room for improvement, in ways we never thought of. From a cosmic bird eye view, hardships are like the speed bumps that inevitably we bump into. They are placed by providence to force-identify & work on our hidden potentials.

Being conscious of the ever-changing turf of the world and the unchanging nature of our individuality, empowers us to overcome fear (BG 2.16).

Let’s reflect:

1. List the self-doubts that visit you in critical times?

2. Between the fear spectrum-identify your triggers?

3. What is holding you back, from living a life of abundance?

Do share your thoughts & show your love by sharing it with your loved one’s. That keeps us upbeat 🙂

Until then..
