The fear of the unknown has been preventing many people from achieving success in life. It is normal to have fear, but it becomes abnormal when your fears overwhelm you. When your fears overwhelm you, it prevents you from achieving your goals in life. For instance, if you are scared of the crowd, then you won't be able to perform that beautiful song of yours on the stage.

In order to overcome your fears, you must learn to realize that it is ok to have fear. Fear is just an inbuilt alarm system that alerts us when danger is near. It is to protect us from danger but it becomes a problem when it begins to take over our life, which begins to raise false alarm like a faulty alarm system.

It is necessary to identify your fears. What kind of fear do you possess? Is it the fear for dogs? Or the fear of being laughed at? When you know your fears, you can learn your triggers as well. The more you work towards understanding your fears, the better you become at overcoming it.

Finally, after identifying your fears and it triggers, you should start learning slowly on how to face your fears. When your fear arises, it is advisable to pause and reflect on the actual risk involved before freaking out. You should also try to gradually expose yourself to your fears so as to get acquainted with it and overcome it.
