Knockdown your FEARS before it knocks you down.
There is a continuous battle in the mind of every individual; it's a battle every individual gets to fight always in the mind yet most of the times this FEAR has a conquering power.
It was far back my secondary days, I love coconut candy so much and my lovely friend was a great lover of coconut candy as well. We were two great friends who enjoyed every candy moment we had with each other.
We could always use our last cash even for candy we loved it so much that the thought of not getting coconut candy in the break period was dreadful as candy was our very own delight.
When my friends mother began to see our love for coconut candy, she set out to teach us how to make coconut candy, we graciously took the opportunity and learnt how to make coconut candy.
We almost set out to start making our candies for my school just that we had fears that people may not buy our candies because we were young and we had just learnt at this time.
The next week a younger student in my school made her coconut candy and started selling and she made a lot of money until everything was sold out.
My friend and I even bought from her coconut candy it was nice, but we knew our candies will be better if we only came around to sell or even made the move of going ahead to even start making our own candies.
Simple question: why Didn't we start making our own candies?
Simple answer: FEAR.
The reason why many business ideas never start up is because of the four lettered word called FEAR.
FEAR has a way of making someone feel inadequate for what he or she can ordinarily do.
*FEAR has a thousand and one reasons why you shouldn't start up and I don't know why people seem to believe fear rather than believe on themselves.
FEAR happens to be more comfortable after all fear never wants you to start it wants you to relax rather than starting out and pursuing your dreams.
FEAR has a way of knocking down its victims down.
FEAR never cares it penetrates even the mighty and the same time keeps the young ones from rising to their full potentials.
FEAR usually attacks the mind of its victims by sending the I can't do it thought to its audience and very soon the audience buys into the thought and from there fear works a fearful knockdown on the victims.
However if we must counter FEAR we must take on the shield of boldness and never hear the voice of FEAR.
If we must counter FEAR, we must take our focus away from the things that makes it impossible for us and begin to focus on our possibilities.
If anyone wants to succeed in life and business He or she must build a strong resilient shield against fear.

I can relate to this fear perfectly, it has stopped me alot from reaching greater heights.
To me the reason why people seem to believe fear rather than believe on themselves is because of self doubt, what will people say and what might happen or go wrong in the cause of trying. Forgetting this life is full of taking risk.
Mam @prettyjules158,
We can do whatever we can imagine. But there is something which stops us. That is the fear. If we can control it, then we will shine in life. Great educative post mam. Go on. Best of luck. I thank you for your sharing.
Fear is a very powerful emotion that can keep its captive bound. Funny enough, most times, the things we fear aren't always true.
If only you and your friend had followed your hearts and sold those coconut candies, you'd not only have made a lot of money, but would have been known as the pioneering sellers of that snack.
Thanks for such an inspiring post.

@prettyjules158
very nice his words I like the word he said
I think success is a mixture of having a talent for the field you do, knowing that it's all not enough, that you have to work hard and have a goal @prettyjules158
Good one, thanks
Some minds are engulfed by fear, because of self-doubt, and even fearful of failure
They know not that: "when you fail, try again...
You are not a failure, until you fail to try again "
Abraham Lincoln didn't get the presidential post at his first try of politics... It took him decades... But he never stopped trying...
Fear not! We are born for greatness!
You can do it!
