A lot of people have this problem of facing their fears; many people tend to run away from their fears, but how far can you run away from your fear. If you can’t run away from your mind then you can’t run away from your fears.
Helen Keller said: “Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.”
These are reasons you should face that fear head on:
1. IF YOU DON’T FALL, YOU MIGHT NOT LEARN HOW TO RISE
People are afraid of failing, of making mistakes and also being laughed at. If you don’t fall or fail, you’d never rise. So you have to face those fears and not be afraid of failing or falling, because that is where your breakthrough lies.
2. YOU BECOME A STRONGER PERSON
Another huge benefit of facing your fears is that you become a stronger person when you do that; your confidence is boosted and you gain strength. You feel great within you anytime you face your fears.
3. YOU’D NEVER GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL
You would always remain at a level when you don’t face your fears. Facing and overcoming your fears will take you forward and to the next level.
4. YOU DEVELOP SOME STRONG QUALITIES
Facing your fears will give you some strong qualities that will help you in every area of your life. Facing your fears help you develop wisdom and knowledge from each experience, you develop courage and you also develop resilience. Like Steve Maraboli said: “Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.”
5. IT FREES YOU
Fear is a burden and till the day you decide to face it head on, you’d always carry that burden. Facing your fears free you.
6.THE TIME IS NOW
If you don’t face your fears now and become free, then when would you? The right time to face your fear is now because at the end of the day, you have nothing to lose.
