Hey guys. I hope our weekend was fun and enjoyable. So this week we're starting off with one topic that I believe resonates with everyone, young and old, rich and poor, famous and obscure. That topic is fear.
We all have experienced fear at one point in our lives or the other, and in some instances it has caused us a lot. So this edition is about the one thing that we're scared of and that when we face them, it's hard to overcome.
Personally I don't think I have one particular thing that I'm scared of and find hard to overcome when I face it, but that doesn't mean I don't have fears. I do have fears and my greatest fear is the fear of not fulfilling my potentials.
It's often said that we are all born for a purpose, to have a particular area of impact on the world before we leave it. The fear of not fulfilling this purpose or maximizing my potentials is one that I've not really been able to overcome.
This is not easy especially when I remember that I have people who believe so much in me, that I have what it takes to become anything I want to be. Many times I've had sleepless nights thinking about the trajectory of my life and the fact that I don't really know my destination gets me so scared, not just for my friends and family, but for me.
This is because I know that I have what it takes to achieve a lot, but sometimes I just don't know what to do or how to do it and that's my biggest fear, that my ignorance might scupper my efforts at becoming.
How I overcome my fears
I don't think there's a way of me overcoming this fear at once, as I believe it will always be here because nobody really knows what tomorrow holds and that will continue to scare me. So what I do is I take each day as it comes. I make my plans, work towards achieving every goal for each day, week, month and year and just leave the rest to God who knows the beginning from the end and the end from the beginning.
I believe in keeping short term goals that eventually morphs into bigger achievements in the long run. That way I don't have to look too ahead and get crippled by it's uncertainty, instead I focus on the little things of the immediate that I can influence and better my life.
This doesn't mean that I've figured my life out, or that I've found a way to overcome my greatest fear. What it actually means is that I've found a way to live with it without letting it influence my life negatively.
