“If you want to overcome your fear then you have to face that fear.”

Hi Everyone!!!

Fear is a kind of barrier in our life, which prohibits us to do something. Fear can be of anything and it varies from person to person like what they are fearful of. If you want to be successful in your life, then it is very necessary to overcome your fear, because as much as you try to run from your fear, that much your fear will be chasing you.

You don’t know at which phase of life this fear would become a big problem for you. Here, I remember a chapter which I studied in grade 12th and that inspired me a lot. In that chapter, author shared his experience about overcoming his fear of water(Aquaphobia). The author named Douglas was very much fearful of swimming in water. At the age of 11, he decided to learn swimming and went to the pool. He was sitting on the edge of pool waiting for his friends. Suddenly, a big bully boy came and pushed Douglas into water. Douglas decided not to panic and he remembered his trick of coming out of water. His plan was to first reach the surface of water and then jump with full of potential and finally swimming to edge of pool. However, he tried this thing many times in water but he was out of his breath and lost all his strength. He became unconscious in water. After sometime he found himself out of pool. This incident affected him a lot and this time he decided to hire the instructor. He guided him in very well manner and taught him about how to use the legs, breath in and breath out etc. Douglas day by day started improving and finally the day came when he became the perfect swimmer. But, Douglas was still not sure and wanted to clarify that his fear would not come again in front of him. He went to lake wentworth and decided to swim across the island. In the mid of lake, his fear again came in his mind but couldn’t win over his confidence. Finally, Douglas challenged his fear and was confident about his skill.

So, If you are determined and have true spirit of learning then no power of world can stop you to overcome your fear.
