Build Up Your Courage, Get Rid Of Your Fears, Live Your Full Potentials, Evolve And Become Who You Are Meant To Be.

Courage is unarguable one very essential ingredient required to live a fulfilling life and achieving success. Everything that gets done need some form of courage or the other to materialize. From merely sourcing for daily bread to building your own house; asking a lady's hand for marriage to setting up a family; seeking a contract or seeking political post, all require some degree of courage or the other. And it all starts with conquering fear. Unfortunately, however, we now live in a fear-filled world thanks to the effect of the global-village nature of our new world.

All that the various media broadcasting information feed us with daily is 'FEAR'. Fear of the unknown, fear of robbers, fear of masterminded wars as is currently happening in Syria, political unrest, outside attack, alien invasion and the list goes on and on endlessly... Fear is everywhere and in virtually every aspect of our lives we experience some form of fear or the other even down to the most enjoyable legitimate social acts like having sex with you legitimate wife. Man is afraid. He fears STDs, he fears fears poverty thereby fearing the good news of another pregnancy and invariably, a new baby.

The average human minds in this age have been reprogrammed and stereotyped to function more like that of some pre-programmed robots. This reality is a fact that's here with us and there is no shying away from it. Gone are the olden days when men are men as supposed to be. Born free, live free, grow up courageous to contribute to the world and of course become who they are meant to become. An average child of today is born into fear and grows up with fear of horrors in the various devices he/she interacts with regularly - TV, Laptops and PCs, Smartphones, Gaming gadgets etc.

What's The Way Out?

Below Are Some Outstanding Quick Steps To Build Up Your Courage And Overcome Your Personal Fears In A Short Time Range.

1. Outline Your Fears.
You need to actually recognize what those fears you feel are. What are those things you fear? Who are those personalities involved? What is the degree to which you fear them. An example is, Who actually do you fear to blame you for a particular move or act. e.g when you seek a political post. Yet another example is.. what exactly do you fear in learning to ride a bicycle or driving a car or learning to swim.

2. Recognize Their sources.
Recognize the sources of your fears. Is it just within your own mind-frame? Or is it a real existing threat that is established out there in the real world? For instance, falling down is a major souce of fear in learning to ride a bicycle, drowning is it in learning swimming. Another example on a larger scale can be... is your political move fear just that people (the electorate) might abuse you and call you unworthy as a governorship candidate or is there and established cabal that installs candidates of their choice every time all the times.

Recognizing this gives you the true insight to deciding on steps to take to overcome that and summon the courage to surmount that obstacle and take the appropriate step needed in such situation.

3. Analyze the effects.
Many a time, man just merely fears thing that aren't worth being feared. One needs to analyze what effect a particular thing or affair which one fears will have in one's life and then decide if it is really a threat or just a mere mirage. For example, you can analyze the fear of what will happen if you make a move to buy a land to build your dream house in Lagos Nigeria and categorize it thus:

  • Land is very expensive in Lagos and environs.
  • The land owners (A.K.A omo oniles) can play double standard games and tricks on you.
  • You could lose your money etc.

After analyzing, next is to...

4 . Counter the negative fears or at least neutralize them with positive visualization.
This is a stage wherein you virtually need to carefully look for other good reasons to counter those fears with solid positive visualizations. Many of the fears that we face in life situations involve imagining the worst things that might happen. How about turning that round by imagining the best things that will happen.

As a counter to this fear, try to practice imaging and imagining the best thing that could happen the next time you feel nervous in a situation. When you counter and replace the negative monster in your fear with a positive vision, you put the power of your subconscious mind to work for you rather than against you.

Imagine being the best cyclist in your country, continent or even at the global level. That's countering the fear of falling down. Neutralize it both by starting out with a tricycle or bicycle with two support tyres and ride on a flat smooth field rather that rough surface.

Employing the service of a qualified experienced land surveyor and then an experienced lawyer could be the counter for the fear you have about buying land. This come with some fees but isn't it better and safer? It definitely is. And it pays off in the long run. Doing this will help you overcome that fear and get you more courageous as you achieve that particular milestone of becoming a proud land owner in Lagos.

5 . Take a decision boldly, swiftly and fearlessly and be convinced it is the right decision at that moment.
Taking decisions swiftly is an art. It is a sweet art that pleases the self as results evolve. It has helped me a great deal growing up as a your entrepreneur back then in the early 2000s. Give it a shot and see things start to change for you in your life.

The feeble mind drags feet a whole lot and find it difficult to take appropriate decisions about important matters in their lives. Cultivate the habit of always taking decision boldly without fear.

Know that everything you see around you in life, live by or use, whether materialistic or idealistic, are all the result of some decisions taken by some people at some points in life history. If you refuse to take your own decision and actions, you won't contribute anything that other can live by or use too later in life.

6 . Swing into action immediately without further delays or procrastination.
As soon as you're decided, Rise up into action in a step-by-step bit-by-bit fashion doing the most crucial tasks first, then the next.

Taking appropriate action is magical and can just be the difference altogether. It makes you master the process and evolve much more courageous as you've mastered the art.

7 . Become a Master.
By taking step-by-step actions, you've just conquered fear and taken up the path of courage. This breeds more courage resulting from the soothing experience of doing and achieving. I have experienced this time and time again back in the 90s while starting my petty book-selling business which later metamorphosed into a million Naira school business in the early 2000s. And then 2000s while building up my school business.

The feeling of being a master in what you've done after surmounting your fears and then becoming much more courageous is very pleasing. It make you feel on top of the world. Makes you feel like a leader and achiever.

In closing, procrastination is the world's No 1. robber. It robs people of the required action they need to take achieve success. If you allow it, it can neutralize all your dreams in life and keep you in a constant state of regrets upon regrets - about what and what you ought to have done that you never did - going forward.

Start toeing the path of courage from this moment, look for one simple thing that you wish to achieve but fear hasn't allowed you to. Start today by begining to apply the above steps and strategies to conquer your fear in that regard and evolve more courageous.
