Remind yourself: I cannot give up on doing things that bring me joy and fulfillment.
Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try it at all?
Let me ask you a question. What are you most afraid of losing? Are you afraid of dying more than anything? Or is it something else? What is that one thing you can’t imagine losing? Are you ever afraid no one will remember you after you’re gone?
Ahh… There are so many fears, and unfortunately, we are one, one mind, one heart, and a lot to think, lose, and gain.
You know, I think that when life presents you with unexpected challenges when everything seems to be falling apart when you feel as if you, yourself are about to fall apart at any minute, and when nobody understands you. You often try to talk yourself into believing that you’re strong enough.
Believe your instinct “YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH.”
I know it’s tough to see these words as encouraging when you’re getting progressively worse but still can’t get a clear answer. It’s hard to focus on getting better when you don’t even know what the problem is. You see your destination in front of you, but you find yourself unable to reach there.
Do you know what is stopping you to reach your destination? Your Fear!
Yes! Fear of failure.
Why worry about anything when we have faith in Allah? Let’s overcome your fear and believe it that everything is in Allah’s hand and live your life spontaneously.
To live spontaneously requires a deep-seated belief that anything and everything is possible if you apply yourself fully. You just need to trust the process and go with the flow of life without second-guessing yourself.
Being spontaneous mostly comes down to saying one simple word. And that word is YES!
Remember: Our fears have the greatest hold over us whenever we resist them. Whenever you freeze and choose not to confront your fears head-on, that is when you give your fears the power and control they need to influence your decisions and behavior.
When we fear something, we are afraid because of what we imagine will happen. We are afraid because of the story we tell ourselves about this fear. But all the bad stuff that we imagine, rarely ever happens. And even if it does, the best way to inoculate yourself against this fear is to confront it head-on.
Close your eyes and remind yourself “we live only once, why to change the decisions just because of emotion that exists in our mind?
Re-read and re-think!
Are we really living fearless life?
