LIFE
Courage
As a kid, I always had these ideas and things that I wanted to do and I used to say to myself let life (real life) being and then we can do it, there were always some things that I had to do, it may be finishing my education or getting a job or waiting for the right time before I could start.
We all have these things that we want to do, it may be to start our own venture, getting out and meeting new people, asking someone out, or even as simple as smiling at a stranger. The reason we are scared to do any of this is not that we have a lot of undone things. It’s because we have these tiny voices in our brain that tell us what if something goes wrong? what if you fuck up? and this builds fear, Fear of doing it and then shit might go down kind of fear.
We all living creatures have fear and it’s not a bad thing, it’s a good thing. Fear is into us to help us survive or keep us alive in the face of immediate danger. Fear helps us to take calculated risks.
There are plenty of videos and blogs on the internet on how you should overcome fear, the problem with these is that you have to understand that you can never overcome fear, you can’t and these fail immediately.
First thing is that you should accept the fear, accept that shit might go down but it’s not the worst thing that can happen and the possibilities of that are very less. Accept it remember that you can’t be comfortable without your own approval.
Bravery is not the absence of fear. Bravery is feeling the fear, the doubt, the insecurity, and deciding that something else is more important.
The ability to do something that frightens one is known as courage. But how do you get this ability to do things?
For me, it has always been a realization. Realizing that if I don’t do it now then, I probably never will and this feeling overpowers my fears.
Realize that you have one life and When it’s time to die, don’t discover that you have never lived. You don’t want to have any regrets of not doing things while you’re on your death bed.
This Realization is my courage to do things that I’m scared to death.
One day, you and everyone you love will die. And beyond a small group of people for an extremely brief period of time, little of what you say or do will ever matter. This is the Uncomfortable Truth of life. And everything you think or do is but an elaborate avoidance of it. We are inconsequential cosmic dust, bumping and milling about on a tiny blue speck.
