It is very sad if a person comes to the end of his life with the knowledge that he has not achieved anything of what he once dreamed of, what he aspired to. And worst of all, when a person realizes that the cause of all his failures was a banal fear of change.
Imagine that you are living the last hours. Life is over - what have you come to the end of your life with? Will you leave with peace of mind, with the knowledge that you still lived, did something, fought, even if you did not manage to achieve much. Or did you just go from day to day, afraid to take responsibility for active steps, afraid of life itself?
Fear of life is the main obstacle to achievement
People fall into two categories. Some are gamblers by nature and are ready to put everything at stake, including their well-being, their lives. Others assume that a tit in the hands is better than a pie in the sky. The former actively take risks, while often losing. But they often win, achieving everything they wanted.
What is the main difference between them? The fact that the former have a chance to get something, while the latter have no such chance. The fear of making a mistake paralyzes the will, prevents it from moving towards the goal - whatever it may be. Months add up to years, those - to decades. A person does not have time to look back, as life is behind. What did he come to, did his childhood dreams come true? Did this life give him anything at all, besides troubles and disappointments?
But everything could be different! Fate favors the strong, strong-willed, daring. Those who take risks, who are not afraid to go forward. Yes, they often die in their attempts to surpass themselves. But this is a worthy death, there is nothing to reproach such people with. It is better to die in an attempt to change something than to die a decrepit old man or an old woman with the knowledge that life was wasted.
How to overcome your fear of life
The first step is to understand that fear is killing you, paralyzing you, preventing you from living life to the fullest. Prove to yourself logically, write down the points on paper that if you continue to be afraid to live, you will lose everything altogether - including yourself. Dreams will remain dreams, life will be gray, boring and wretched.
Once you are aware of the situation, determine what you really want, which will make you feel like life has not been wasted. And once you have determined, go for it, ignoring fears and obstacles. Remember that the universe favors the bold - take the first step, declare that you are ready to go towards the goal, and opportunities will appear by themselves - because they simply cannot but appear.
It is very important to feel the excitement, drive, thirst for success. This is a truly heady feeling that will push you forward, make you look for ways to achieve your goal. You will be cheerful, reckless, confident. Even failures will not stop you - on the contrary, they will force you to put even more effort into achieving your dreams.
The most important thing is that your life will truly change. It will make sense, it will be filled to the brim with events. It will become simply interesting for you to live, while the fear of life that once tormented you will go away forever.
