"What I always feared has happened to me. What I dreaded has come true."– Job
Fear is one of man's oldest companions. Either of insects or animals, marriage or wealth, health or purpose there's that one thing(s) that has once or is still causing our heart to pant due to fright.
Job's greatest fear was losing his family and all that he had worked for, and it came upon him. Why? He used it as a driving force for whatever he did. It was recorded that he performed the rituals, gave to the needy, prayed, and even cleansed each of his children daily peradventure they have sinned against God, but he did was in response to fear.
And anything done out of fear is never done perfectly!
Your fear can be your biggest source of strength remember we are changing the narratives and using our weakness as a catalyst that propels success but it should be used wisely.
Fears were meant to be used as motivators to start something new, take up a new course, start afresh, a new diet, pay attention to our health, and so on, and not as a driving force for our success.
When you do things out of fear you miss out on the significant parts of life.
Fear is usually caused due to lack of knowledge in that aspect of life. Knowledge is said to be power and fear is known to render one weak and powerless. Therefore whatever you are afraid of is a pointer to a lack or shortage of information or knowledge about that sphere of life.
When you have the knowledge, fear automatically becomes your strength.
Respond to your fear by seeking more knowledge of that aspect.
📌Are you afraid of being poor; broaden your knowledge bank with books on how to manage your finances.
📌 Is bad marriage your biggest fear; attend marriage seminars, have mentors regarding it, and most importantly work on yourself.
📌 Are you having challenges as regards your health: seek professional medical advice, pick up healthy habits and stick to them.
No matter what, chisel your fear till your success defeats it.
