"Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it."

I was to travel to a place for an exam and my dad told me to stay over at an uncle's place because my cousin was writing that same exam as well. I insisted on not staying at my uncle's place, I told him I didn't like the place and when he asked why, I told him I just didn't like my uncle's house but that wasn't true. After so much pestering from my dad, I opened up and told him that I was scared of staying at my uncle's place because of my cousin. I explained to him that my cousin was too smart and that it made me uncomfortable. I was scared of fooling myself at my uncle's place, if I ended up failing the same exam, my cousin would have passed. But my dad said something that changed my mindset. He said failing the exam didn't make me a failure instead running away from my fears was a quick step to being a failure. He made me understand that it wasn't about getting a high score at the exam but instead it was about how much beliefs I had on my abilities and if my faith was greater than my fears. He kept saying failure wasn't about losing instead it was simultaneous to quitting. Wow! I thought of those words for a long time and decided to go. Fortunately, my cousin and I passed and had the same score. Atlas! I wasn't so bad as I thought.

We have limited ourselves most times due to our fears. It has restricted our abilities and because of those silly fears, we have never moved outside our box and we have never made a difference. The moment we let our doubts and fears take over, we stop thinking of a way to be better. For example, if you are really scared of an exam and you conclude within yourself that you wouldn't do well, your brain stops thinking of things you could do for a better result and it ends there. Unfortunately, you might never really explore your abilities and chances at being better. This applies to me as well and I hope that, anytime I check on this blog post, I'm reminded that I live in a world where anything is possible. I hope I am reminded that I am capable of anything, and that I am greater than my fears. I hope I'm prompted to chase those fears and conquer them. I anticipate that I end up being bold enough to overcome my doubts and I hope I am mighty clear that I'm a star filled with unlimited possibilities, capable of being anything I've ever dreamt of. I hope you end up feeling that way too. ❤
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
