When you have prepared yourself - attending full dress rehearsals, scrutanising your past mistakes, practiced the best techniques and sharpened your forte -, you ought to possess the confidence of Cassius Clay.
But nah. Not only do we deliberately ignore the fact that we are capable of achieving higher standards, we let our fear run us down like a road roller. Yes, they are many factors to consider in the process of realising your goals - finance, peer pressure, health, relationships, and shyness - , but why do we have to be constantly terrified of doing something we want to do. What makes us so conscious of other people's opinions? A lion wouldn't stop devouring your thighs even when you hold out your hand and demand it to stop.
Yet when we put ourselves in interestingly difficult situations, where only then can we find our 'inner potential'. Knowledge you never thought you know are actually spilling everywhere like a amateur waiter carrying a bowl of soup filled to the brim with tremour hands.
My point is, why let us be run down by fears? Why can't we let it be the driving force for us to succeed? Let fear be the fuel to run our engines. We decide on options as we have the right to choose.
Of course, by human nature, we won't want to experience fear or even learn about it cause we are scared about it. Therefore, when we are bogged down by terrifying events or frightening experiences or have a bad sense of premonition, we would not know what to do but to cling onto the wind trying to calm ourselves by reciting a mantra found through Google.
Learn our fears. Embrace them as it is a part of us. Having fear is as natural as breathing. It will come no matter how hard you try to run away from it. Fear is like light, you can never go faster than it. Mix it with strength and determination and you're on your way to reach higher than the top.
But sometimes, we let our fear run us down cause we are just lazy to overcome it. No problem with that. Fear is what keeps us alive too right?
