From cartoons to adverts to motivational speeches, we keep hearing about fear and how we should be fearless. Fearless to follow our dreams, fearless to to be able to make it, and fearless towards anything that crosses our paths.
To be fair, it's easier said than done. It would not be easy to remain calm if something was to jump at you suddenly if you were alone in the house. It's also hard to stay put while in a place that's generally known as unsafe.
Our instincts are always alert. As long as your mind registers that a place is not safe or senses something is not right, every part of your body will be on alert to react in case of anything.
Some people run away when scared, others fight back, while others stand still, unable to move an inch. Other people will even scream out, start crying, and pee on themselves. What's your reaction when something frightens your living daylights?
The physical reactions we have towards things that scare is are almost the same to those we have towards life in general. Life will give us instances that will leave us scared too.
Our source of income may end suddenly, someone who was our anchor may leave us, or we may be on the verge of losing something big like an investment, savings, or a house.
Other times we may be scared of our secrets getting leaked out, someone coming to harm us, failing exams, or not delivering required results work. Fear has a way of leaking into our lives somehow.
But how we react to it is what makes all the difference. It's important to be able to fearlessly face it instead of ignoring or running from it. Here are fearless quotes that will inspire you on handling it.
