How to Get Rid of Your Fear

How to Get Rid of Your Fear

We all experience fear in our daily life - The fear of public speaking, the fear of talking to strangers, the fear of interview, the fear of participating in a group discussion.

The list is endless.

Fear is like darkness. It is a black hole that keeps on sucking us deep inside it. Fear makes us give up on our dreams, makes us become mediocre, and creates a character that is part of a crowd having no personality.

The net of fear should break. It should be shattered. It is then that we shall experience the real freedom. It is then that we will shine with our full potential.

It is not an impossible task. This web or trap or net, whatever we may call it, doesn’t have real chains as we tend to imagine. The chains are imaginary that are holding us back from doing what our heart wants us to do, to live a life that we dream about.

These fears are as thin as a soap bubble. All you need to do is look it into the eyes and BOOM! It will be gone. You will be free from it.

All you have to do is understand the cause of your fear and it will disappear from your life.

Look inside your mind. Observe the kinds of fears that are living in your mind. Look closely at them, recognize them. Knowing your fears will help you to get rid of them. You will not have to struggle to break them.

When you are free from your fear and you look back you will start laughing at it and wondering – was I afraid of this? What was I doing? It was all imaginary.

Right now you are tied to this web of fear because you have assumed that they are real. You have accepted that they are the truth of your life. If you can see and understand that they are false, then you instantly become free from your fears.

Where has this fear come from?

Your fear is always in front of you because you are shying away from it, not willing to confront it. It is nothing more than that.

Remember - The thing that you think is true will attract you and you will get attached to it. The thing that you think is false; you will keep away from it and become free from it.

Ask yourself – What am I attracting? Is it the ultimate truth of my life or something that I am afraid to face?

Take a moment to question yourself – Is there a reason for me to believe that this is the truth of my life? Is being shy and nervous the reality of my life?

Do you know what the tragedy of human life is?

We don’t know the truth about ourselves and we don’t take the pain to even know it. So one day somebody out of the blue says, you can’t do it and we believe it. We start living that statement. Somebody says you are a fool, and we accept it as true. We don’t trust ourselves, but we trust that person who has nothing to do with our life. He doesn’t care whether we live or die, but we believe him. We don’t question their statements and the worst part is that we don’t believe ourselves. Knowingly or unknowingly we make his statement the certainty of our life.

People are people; they love to comment on others. They enjoy giving various titles to people around them. And then there are people who hold on to those titles. They create a pole out of that title and tie themselves to it. There are many imaginary poles in the society – the pole of shyness, the pole of nervousness, the pole of fear. We all are tied to some pole or the other and we think that there is no escape from this pole. Our life starts revolving around that pole.

The fact is that these poles never exist in reality. They are just images created by your mind. They are illusions that we believe as reality.

The question that comes to mind is, how do I get rid of these fears?

The answer is – stop running away from these fears. Face all your fears with light of confidence and light of boldness. You will find that the fear that was engulfing you in its darkness has disappeared. The darkness is gone. The fear is gone. You are no longer fearful because now you have the glow of self-belief and courage.

If you have the fear of standing up and speaking in front of an audience, stop and face that fear. Look into its eyes of fear and do the opposite. Stand up and speak. Not once, but many times. Don’t worry about anybody around you. Soon you will find that the fear of shyness that was surrounding your life and not allowing you to move forward has suddenly disappeared.

And that very instant you become a new person.
