FIGHT YOUR FEARS AND FEED YOUR FAITH

The ability to express emotions is a trait every living thing has and fear is one of those emotions. Some people are scared of taking risks, some are scared of commitment, some are scared of insects (like me) and some are even scared of the unknown. No one can categorically say he/she is not scared of anything even though we claim not to be sometimes. Although, dwelling in fear is a choice; and it's definitely one of those things that sets us back in achieving our set goals. Just like we have the freedom to choose between good and evil, we also have the choice to be either scared or courageous.

Achieving anything in life has to do with how well you can fight your fears while taking those risks that comes with the achievement. Now, that force that drives you to forge ahead even with the fear you feel is courage. A courageous person, to me, is not a fearless person. A courageous person is just someone who is able to confront and fight his or her fears.

We look at wrestlers and boxers sometimes and think to ourselves "this guy is fearless" well, I'll rather say courageous because I don't totally believe anyone is fearless. We all have that emotion (fear) in us. It's now left to us to allow it drive us or not. Like I said earlier, a courageous person is someone who is able to confront and fight his or her fears. Courage isn't necessarily the absence of fear but the confrontation of it. 

It is either we feed our fears by always coming up with excuses on why we can't achieve something or always being pessimistic or we feed our faith by seeing the possibilities and success in what we're about to embark on. Everything in life comes with a challenge and we must always be ready to fight them. 

I know most times, it is easy to write and advice people to be this and that but practically, it can be really hard but we have no choice than to keep fighting till we win. And if we don't, we'll at least  know that we tried out our best. 

Have a blessed day and week ahead. Always remember, fear is a choice, choose courage over it.
