How To Overcome The Fear of the Unknown





My friend, do you know why most people don't take action in their lives?
Because they are afraid of the unknown.

After all, nobody likes things they're not familiar with.
We hate when things don't go according to plan.
When unexpected events make us find new ways to do things.
Maybe it's an important decision you have to make without knowing all the details.
Maybe you need to get something done without really knowing how to do it.
Or maybe it's a worldwide crisis never seen before like last year's.

It doesn't matter how well prepared you are for these things...
There will always be a moment where these situations will caught you by surprise.
It's just inevitable. All those situations make us feel uncertain...
They paralyze us and stop us from going after our goals.
And what happens to those who let their fear of the unknown take over?

Well, they never get to live to their fullest potential.
They never get to do anything extraordinary.
They miss out on great experiences just because they were outside of their comfort zone.
They do not consider great ideas that could've given them great results just because they were too new.
Plus, they end up losing everything in front of those who do take action.

Don't worry, though. You don't have to be like that.
There's a way you can become someone courageous who takes action every time.


First, you need to understand where that fear is coming from.

See, the fear you're feeling now is made up of thoughts and beliefs.
And those beliefs come from negative experiences you've had in the past.
So, the first step to conquer your fear of the unknown is to see why it exists within you.
Did you fail at a business venture and don't want this to happen again?
Were you hurt in the past and that doesn't let you trust other people?
What happened when you stepped out of your routine that you just don't want to do it anymore?
Usually, you'll find the reasons you have are not based on reality and facts.

They're just in your head.


Then, bring your logical brain into the game, and start thinking logically about this fear.

What are the chances that this happens again?
And even if the worst-case-scenario happens, would it really be that bad?
Haven't I been able to succeed under similar circumstances in the past?

When you do this, you'll realize something powerful...

There's nothing to be afraid of.
You've faced similar circumstances in the past and succeeded.
Sure, there were challenges and problems to overcome, but they are just temporary.

In the end, they will only make you stronger.
You just have to take that next step and face the unknown.
That's when you'll conquer your fear, and start living a more interesting life.

Remember that next time you're afraid.

JE BRÛLE POUR TOI

You will always be my greatest adventure. I love you when you are happy, but I love you even more when you are sad. I love you on your joys, but I will love you even more on your struggles because I know life gets difficult for everybody. You still deserve to be loved no matter how ugly the situations are. You deserve all the love in the world, no matter how little you think of yourself. I will always think highly of you, because I know what you can bring into this world. I know what you can do, and I believe that you can do a hundred-fold more. I love you even if and when it hurts, because I know that’s when I’d have to love you more. That’s when I’d have to understand you the most. I will love you during the brightest days, and the darkest nights. I love you when you are whole and full, but I will love you even more when you think you’re broken or half empty. I will love you even more – even when you think you don’t deserve it. You do not need to ask why I’m always around. You do not
  Within Those Eyes You have wonderful eyes. Not the type which drowns me in, But the type which makes me feel a little more alive. The ones which look cold; But deep inside, give warmth. They were beautiful. They made me feel beautiful. But beneath those eyes, I could see emotions, Or the things which you never told. Some fears, some regrets. The silence narrated stories, With the soft roaring waves. It held some secrets, some lies. Something that was imperfectly perfect. I found a something in your nothing. Something I needed to hold on. Some fears, some tears, And some illusion.

Take A Chance

If you never take a chance You may never get to dance. Life is full of ups and downs Bringing smiles and some tears. But if you always play it safe You may find out too late That life is meant to be Lived each day happily. You don't want to wonder "what if" An opportunity you did miss So take a chance In order to advance And you will find You will not be left behind. Playing it safe does not always pay You may regret it when you're gray! Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
