The word of the day for 27 October is: Fear.
‘Fear’ is defined as an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm.
William Congreve described fear as an emotion that comes from uncertainty.
It is the uncertainty of situations that causes fear – for example, you are not scared of the dark, but rather of what is in the dark.
We cannot let fear hold us back from doing something we want or need to do. Fear is temporary but regret can last forever.
If we are open to new experiences and work to conquer fear and overcome what might deter us from reaching our goals, then there is nothing standing in the way of our success.
James Stephens said, “Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery ever will.”
If we are not curious and are not open to learning about our fears, then we will never overcome them.
