overcoming-fear

Scars are your greatest medals in life.

Every challenge is an opportunity for spiritual growth.

On the road to success there is absolutely no room for criticism of self or others. Insecurity and fear masquerade as jealousy and judgment. Finding faults in others wastes time as we attempt to remove the bricks from other people__ foundations _ time that could be better spent building our own. And worrying about what other people think about us also wastes the time that could be better spent expanding upon what we have built.

How is it possible to live? Life is so hard?___ou must be harder than life, Firdaus. Life is very hard. The only people who really live are those who are harder than life itself.___ut you are not hard, Sharifa, so how do you manage to live?___ am hard, terribly hard, Firdaus.___o, you are gentle and soft.___y skin is soft, but my heart is cruel, and my bite deadly.___ike a snake?___es, exactly like a snake. Life is a snake. They are the same, Firdaus. If the snake realises you are not a snake, it will bite you. And if life knows you have no sting, it will devour you.

If I would not do something _ right now _ I would never get to live my dreams in waiting.

You have to conquer every obstacle, before you can reach the top of the mountain.

I fear death. I think I must learn to romanticize death so that I can cope with its brutal irreversible numbness...!

The fear of taking a shot at anything in life, lives in the fact that there are no guaranteed outcomes and this notion sadly, paralyzes so many from ever taking a chance, because they can never be certain enough. It's important to understand that the fear will always be there, that's what makes us humans, and those of us that end of leading successful and fulfilled lives have just learned to better tame and dance with that fear more than others.

One challenge at a time, I try to turn into the face of fear and tell it __ou are not my master, you are the product of my self and I am your master._ I look into the monster__ eyes until it disappears. Then I am free.

Fear echoes your self-defined limitations, not your actual ones. To change your self-image, you must face what scares you.

The medicine to fear, these days, is a dose of reality! Because these days the reality is far worse than the disembodiment of the ideal. People today are afraid of the disembodiment of the ideal, because they think the ideal is the reality. A rabbit that does not know it lives in the ground with snakes, is constantly afraid of the sea hawk possibly finding its way to land, to destroy the rabbit__ meadowy existence. In the meadow, living in fear of the sea hawk, not knowing the hole in the ground next to its burrow belongs to a snake. I show the rabbit where the snakes are, thus eliminating its hazardous fear. Misplaced fear is hazardous fear. Fear well placed is a skill for survival.

Fear never scaled one mountain, never stepped up on a stage, never accepted a challenge, never tilled new ground, never walked in a race; he never even dared to dream. Fear failed to slay a single dragon. Remember this before you choose to keep his company.

Reality never comes as a problem. It is only the ideas about reality that comes as a problem.

When you're scared, you stay as you are!

Men are not afraid of things, but of how they view them.

There is no illusion greater than fear.

I have to face the fear. I have to take control of the situation and find a way to make it less frightening.
