At one point of our lives, we have had reasons to be afraid. And sometimes I wonder why is it actually like that, well I have come to discover that is just part of life. Sometimes it is okay to be so bold to face life and sometimes it is alright to be afraid. Life itself can sometimes give us somethings that we least expect and so can lead to us to fear.
When it comes to fear, it definitely have different forms. We have the fear of the past which always makes you to keep returning back to your past. We have fear of failure, this is most of the time at work when you are targeting a particular success and it looks like the success is big or begining to look impossible to achieve, then you will begin to have this fear of what of if you fail?
There is also another type of fear which I will like to talk about today and that is the fear of the unknown. Some people call it the fear of uncertainty or the fear of the future. This is the major and popular type of fear that is experience most of the time and the truth is, it is alright to have that fear sometimes.
There is always that fear of what will the future looks like. There is this constant fear of how our lives will look like in years to come. And can I say this is one of the most difficult parts of the fear to overcome because it deals with the mindset. If you will want to overcome the fear of the unknown, you must have a change of mindset and build up strong faith for the future.
Most people that always have this fear of unknown, they are the set of people that always think about the future. They always try to predict how the future will look like. There are several ways this particular fear of the unknown manifest. Sometimes it can manifest to the fear of missing out opportunities or fear of not been able to grow or adapt to what the future will present. I was once battling with that fear many years ago and I must confess that it was a severe fear.
The truth about this fear is if you did not overcome it, it will constantly limit you. Most people that have this fear of the unknown most of the time end up just dwelling in the comfort zone. Why? Because you will be afraid to take some certain steps that should actually transform you. There are some decisions and actions that you should have actually took which should have settled your future but because you are even afraid of what the outcome of those actions might be, you might not want to take it
There are ways you can overcome this fear of the unknown. The first thing for you to do is to change your perspective about things. If you still have the same mindset about the future, you will not overcome the fear. You must start taking steps even if they might be little. Like I said earlier, people who suffer from this are always afraid to take steps because they are afraid of the outcomes. You need to force yourself to start taking little steps and gradually, you will gain confidence to take big and huge steps.
