FEAR

I remember what Nelson Mandela said
 "Courage is not the absence of fear but the conquer of fear."
 So Ask yourself, what are the fears you are having and look for it causes and try to have a victory over it. Is it that simple? I dont think so. It is oneof the most difficult tasks that you will ever accomplish in one's life. Why?? Simply because all fears are in mind and it is very difficult to control the mind but just have a look at the history.
 History continuosly reminds us that the world belongs to those who have conquered their fear. For example, look at the lives of Mahatma Gandhi, Hitler, etc. were they superhuman? Nopes, they were just normal persons like us who have conquered their fear.
 What are the greatest fears in one's life? well in my view these three are the main, but it may vary from person to person and you are welcome to add up to the list.

 1. Fear of criticism -> 90% of the persons do not so what they want to do but do what they think others want them to do? What happens eventually ? We end up getting doing things which neither pleases others nor us.

  2. Fear of failure -> Studies show that this is the most dominant fear in human, it avoids them from taking the first step, by making them think that they are going to fail in their endeavour. I just want ypu to look at the life of Thomas Edison, he failed 10000 times before actually discovering the light. So, take inpiration from him and have full confidence in you. Afterall, one fails only after he quits trying.
 
  3. Fear Of Death -> This is the most absurd fear inside our brain. we all know that eventually we are going to die, but still we are afraid to die. Why ?? No one has an answer. It is like you want to go to heaven but do not want to die.
 
  Napolean Hill in his book "Think and Grow Rich" has addressed all the fears very well. so I suggest you to read that book at least once.

The best way to remove fear is to do what you dread the most example if you have fear of heights, start visiting hilly areas, if you are not a confident speaker, start taking part in debates, and so on.
Dowhat you fear and the fear will go away.
