• Courage and fear 
• Positive mindset and fear 
• Self-awareness and fear 

Fear is a powerful and universal emotion that has the ability to control and manipulate our thoughts, actions, and even our lives. It is an instinctual response that is deeply rooted in our evolutionary history, designed to protect us from potential dangers and threats. However, fear can also be irrational and debilitating, preventing us from reaching our full potential and experiencing the richness of life.

Fear can manifest in various forms, such as fear or failure, fear of rejection, fear of the unknown, or fear of death. These fears often stem from our insecurities, past experience, or societal pressures. They can  hold us back from taking risks, pursuing our dreams, or forming meaningful connection with others. Fear can create a self-imposed prison, trapping us in a cycle.

OVERCOMING FEAR

Fear is a powerful emotion that can paralyze us, preventing us from reaching our full potential and achieving our goals. It is a natural response to the unknown, the uncertain, and the potentially dangerous. However, it is also a barrier that can be  overcome with determination, courage, and self-belief. In this essay, we will explore the process of overcoming fear and how it can lead to personal growth and success. 

The first step in overcoming fear is to acknowledge its presence and understand its root cause. Fear often stems from past experience, traumas, or negative beliefs that have been ingrained in our minds. By identifying the source of our fear, we can begin to challenge the source of the fear. 

RECIPE FOR OVERCOMING FEAR 

Courage and fear : The Inseparable Duo.

Courage and fear are two emotions that are deeply intertwined, often seen as opposing forces. Courage is the ability to face danger, difficulty, or pain without succumbing to fear, while fear is an instinctual responses to potential threats or harm. Although they may seem contradictory, courage and fear are actually inseparable, as one cannot exist without the other. In fact, it is through fear that courage is truly tested and defined. Fear is  a natural and primal emotion that is hardwired into our beings. It serves as a survival mechanism, alerting us to potential dangers and allowing us to take necessary precautions. Without fear, we could be reckless and oblivious to the risks that surround us. 

POSITIVE MINDSET AND FEAR

Positive mindset and fear may seem like contradictory concepts, but in reality, they are closely intertwined. A positive mindset is all about focusing on the good, embracing challenges, and believing in one's abilities. On the other hand, fear is often associated with negative thoughts, anxiety, and self-doubt. However, it is important to understand that fear can be a catalyst for growth and personal development. When faced with fear, a positive mindset allows us to approach it with courage and determination. Instead of succumbing to the paralyzing effects of fear, a positive mindset enables us to see it as an opportunity for growth and learning. It encourages us to step out of our comfort zones, face our fears head-on, and push ourselves beyond our perceived.

SELF-AWARENESS AND FEAR

Self-awareness and fear are two intertwined aspects of human existence. Self-awareness refers to the ability to recognize and understand one's own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is the conscious knowledge of oneself, including strengths, weaknesses, desires, and fears. Fear, on the other hand, is an innate response to perceived threats or dangers. It is a powerful emotion that can either protect us or hinder our growth. Self-awareness plays a crucial role in how we experience and respond to fear, their origins, and their impact on  our lives. We can identify the triggers that evoke fear within us and recognized the patterns of our fearful reaction.

THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY

 Do the thing, you get the power!!!

Success doesn't come from what you do occasionally, it comes from what you do consistently. The different between successful and unsuccessful people lies on consistency. It is a major factor that shows the different between success and failure. Being consistent is more than being motivated, especially for a long term goals. Motivation is a stimulus, it comes and goes but consistency is a habit.  To be consistent means to be committed towards a particular task. consistency defines what you do repeatedly overtime to achieve a particular goal. 

WHY SHOULD I BE CONSISTENT

Consistency demands a long term commitment and it involves sustained efforts in doing actions repeatedly until you achieve your goals. Consistency breeds discipline, accountability, responsibility,  trust etc. 

DISCIPLINE AND ACCOUNTABILITY 

Consistency makes you discipline, when you are consistent at all time you become discipline automatically. Discipline and consistency are 5 and 6, without discipline it is very hard for you to be consistent in what you do, without consistency, the mental muscle of discipline will decline overtime. consistency and self-discipline works hand in hand. To succeed in life you need to be consistent enough, committed to your own goals and willing to break barriers as you progress without waning down. 

ACCOUNTABILITY AND CONSISTENCY

Accountability makes you stay consistent because you are accountable for every decision you take. Consistency and accountability are two most important factors in success. Every cliche in every task around success come down to hard work and most of all, doing it consistently.

MY PASSION, MY FOCUS

Purpose is all about setting a definite goals and developing a workout precept that will enable you to attain your dreams.   A purpose driven life can be achieved by having positive thoughts, positive mindsets, in other words to be optimistic. Even when in reality it doesn't make sense but your willingness to take risk when people cower in fear, the thirst for reaching out to it makes it  a worthy one.

HOW TO HAVE A PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE

Have a working plan: If you think it's worth it then go for it, if you think your goal is a worthy one, then set a plan. Because in the end the reward is always great.

Share it with people of the same mindset : you see,  when we interact with people on a daily basis we see different people with different character, minds perspective and view on things, we meet people who are creative, whose minds think fast, they might have the ideas you need  to be at the top.

PASSION IS EVERYTHING

 Show me a man that is passionate about his dream , I will show you a man that is  successful in all his dealings.

No man will ever get to the top if he is not passionate about his dreams.  Passion is a drive, it's the force that unleash the unlimited potential that you have inside of you.

Regardless how incredible your dreams might be , if you are not passionate about it, the likelihood of accomplishing it is five percent (5%). This simply means ninety five  percent (95%) of your dreams becoming a reality ( attainable) rely on your passion for it.

The difference between intentions ( your goals, dreams, what you aspire for) and reality (fulfillment, accomplishments, what you really acquired) is passion.

People who are passionate about what they do,  always succeed because the passion they have give then the drive to take action. People who aren't passionate about what they do, find it difficult to succeed because there is no drive, no passion, no enthusiasm, no force, and hence no action is taken.

IS PASSION DIFFERENT FROM DISCIPLINE ?

Discipline is an act while passion is a drive. Discipline simply means doing what you ought to do whether you feel like doing it or not. Passion on the other hand,  is a force within that gives you enthusiasm to take action. To me , both work hand in hand, because you can't discipline yourself to take action on what do don't have passion for. you passion is  meaningless if you don't take action. So passion and discipline gives you the best result. 

ALWAYS ASPIRE FOR THE BEST!!!
