Peep Talk with Tongryang: Rise above Fear

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend and ready for a productive week ahead.

So today, I want to talk about fear and I hope this speaks to someone today.

Fear happens to the best of us. Fear is a scared little being that bullies into surrender its victims for fear of being killed by action. Yeah! Fear fears too.  It’s a false feeling of something gloomy looming to happen, if we dare take a step or action. I say its false because always, when you push yourself beyond that negative feeling and do what you are so afraid of, it turns out there was nothing really sinister waiting to happen. Photo credit: personalitytutor.com

Fear comes in different forms and in different degrees. There is fear of failure, fear of under achieving, fear of public speaking, fear of crowd, fear of success and a host of others.

For me, I had been severely short-changed by the fear of success. Yes, you heard right. I have always had incredible believe in myself and my ability to pull off any thing I set to achieve but, thing is, I would not allow myself, I was scared of succeeding, I was scared of all the changes and adjustment my life will take if I succeeded. It took a long time, a lot of efforts; unlearning and relearning to overcome that negativity.

You might be reading this, and you are at the verge of refusing to take on your dream for one fear or the other, darling listen, its ok to fear; acknowledge it even, but it’s unacceptable to buckle under it. Rise up, face fear and watch it diminish into nothingness.

Thanks for stopping by.

Love, always.

Tongryang.
