My Greatest Fear

avatar
(Edited)

Fear is one of the greatest motivator of human when positively seen with the hope to right the wrong, but then it can become our worstest nightmare when we let it weighs us down, cause it'll literally nailed us to the same spot, unable to progress or advance beyond the limits set by such fear.

Like I said earlier, fear is like the bedrock of failure when not properly manage, but those who walk towards overcoming there fears, are those who ended doing exploits with their lives, while those who saw it as an unbreakable barrier remain limited to one spot.

Fear is universal, meaning all human have one or more thing that serve as their fear, and just like everyone else, I've had some fears which I manage to overcome in the past and so have I got those that I'm presently battling with.

FEAR OF DYING

This fear is something very strange to me until few years ago when I got seriously ill, it's strange because pending that time, I can't remember the last time I fell sick or went for any form of medication, well, health is indeed wealth, because that obviously change my mindset and the way I think generally.

Since I basically become ill at every given opportunity, I tend to have this fear that every time I fell sick might be my last days on earth, and at a time due to the pain, I almost gave in too my fear by not taking my medication, until I came back to my senses and realize that life is meant to be enjoyed and not endure.

So I started taking my medication, saw life in a brand new way and then set several long time target for myself, which I believe will keep me busy and take away such mindset(fear) from my abore.

CYCLOPHOBIA

Cyclophobia; that's the fear of bicycle, happen to be one of the greatest fear I ever had, in fact it literally took me over 20 years to overcome the fear, and i got to be a victim of this fear due to the fact that I was a victim of an accident on my first day of learning how to ride a bicycle, and I once wrote about the scenario here.

It was a very terrible day because I and the person teaching me how to ride was hit by a car, that inflicted a serious internal injury on me, so from then, I shy away from anything related to bicycle, until I had a change of environmental and via what I saw, I had a change of heart towards riding, then I learn and I gradually overcame the fear.

It's normal for everyone to fear death and the annoying thing there is that it is inevitable. All we need to pray for is that after our stay here on earth, we should be able to make heaven.

Fear holds us back, from things we are planning to achieve. When we are afraid, we would be hesitant to go after the things we truly want. But you are handling your own cases pretty well.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Yeah I'm also terrified of death but the sad truth is that it's part of life, we can't escape it...
Haha! I also don't know how to ride a bike, even at this age😅. But I don't think it's related to fear, I guess it's just because I haven't exactly practiced enough, the few times I tried, I kept falling. I haven't tried again in ages though. I guess I should give it a shot too🤔🤩.
Thanks for sharing!

Death is inevitable, we will all die someday, we just pray to live a fruitful life coupled with long life.

But, Cyclophobia! big man like you.

Like my sister would tell me, "enjoy life because it is small". Though death will occur but putting our mind there would not make us progress or do what we ought to do, but when we understand that fear is like an enemy hindering us from succeeding, we would want to take actions and confront it.

Gosh the fear of death so devastating and worrisome I imagine a lot..... I witness an event that happened in my neighborhood and I was like what if this was me?

Who knows who I am?
Who can connect to my parents?
Who can connect to my friends?

What am I going to face after death....that sounds so strange right?

The fear for bicycles is very funny but I understand your plight. It's difficult to feel the same way about a thing especially if we've been a victim of a bad effect of that thing.

It's good you're trying to overcome your fears because as you've said, if one doesn't learn to manage fear one will become rooted to a spot and won't be able to progress.
