BE FREE FROM FEAR

By-Tanishqa Pawar

It’s fine to be afraid, to be frightened, scared as these all words contain the same meaning that is fear, they are all synonyms. First of all, we need to ask from ourselves, what is fear? According to google it is an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm. That definition might be correct for some intellect, but the true meaning is hidden within it. We all are acquainted with fear, childhood fear of ghost coming out of closet, teenage fear of “whether I will be able to be what I want to be”, fear to lose loved ones, fear of failure, fear of lagging behind others, the fear of keeping pace with time and society or any other fear. Hard times comes to those who are worth of it, it surely moulds a person for a good reason. C. Joybell C once quoted “Don’t be afraid of your fears. They’re not there to scare you. They’re there to let you know that something is worth it.” What the first thing we should do is to take a deep breath and tell ourselves that, it is nothing but just a phase, which will pass sooner or later. As life is less, we should live each moments, as time will pass in blink of an eye. In difficult times only one person will be with you is you yourself, you will be the reason for the beginning and the end as well. Secondly, we should change the attitude towards the failure. It is just another way how things don’t works out. You should not make the problems bigger than you. It’s the attitude and behavior that makes the person stronger. My father says ‘Strength’ is a well concealed fear. Most of the fear are because of worldly desires .Once a person came to Buddha for help, he said to Buddha that I want happiness, Buddha smiled and replied, remove I and want. At first the person thought it as a joke and didn’t understood Buddha’s say, then Buddha smiled again and said ‘I’ stands for me and ‘want’ stands for desire, remove this from life you will be left with happiness. We all are agitated because we are not able to find answers and confused and scared of things. As a student, we are afraid of grades and career, what is going to happen in near future, sometimes what we planned doesn’t work well or not even take place. We make strategy and plan, when the plan failed we get sadden instead of that we should find our error, where we lack behind we just say let it be, it’s not meant for me. God surely had different plans for us. He knows me better than I do myself. Always be strong like a steel, we should deal with the problems with elegance and smartness. Don’t make life so hard, as life is a celebration. Never make fear greater than you. Don’t worry, be happy. Always believe in yourself.
