Fear of the unknown

One might wonder,what does tomorrow hold for me? How secured or certain is the future for me? What happens if things doesn’t go as planned?

The world at large is advancing at an increasingly fast rate with the constantly changing and growing technology. There has been series of widespread diseases and viruses all across the world. The Educational system doesn’t give certainty of a favorable job opportunity after years of study. What really does the world out there holds for me?

Fear of failure: There is a fear of not being able to meet your expectations,of things not going as planned. You not having a good great or not coming out with a good grade. Not getting that job you’ve always wanted. Being a failure to your family,letting them down. Fear of being below your mates and hiding from them. Not being able to stand out In a crowd ,not having a voice. Fear grows at the slightest thought of impossibility.

Fear of death: You begin to think, what happens to all of my efforts,my dreams if death comes knocking. All the toils,the sleepless nights,the sacrifices and in the twinkling of an eye,it’s all over. I had an experience just recently,lost a finalist in History and a 200l student of Education in less than a week. All they ever wanted to be is all gone with them. All memories fades after a few years.

Fear of time: As it is known,time waits for no man. There is a fear of running out of time, opportunity and luck. You consider your age and you haven’t got time on your side. Nothing is looking favorable. Your chances of getting that job is limited considering your age. Demoralised, mentally unstable,slim chance of success,things aren't looking good for you and your ask yourself ;WHAT WENT WRONG? WHAT AM I NOT DOING RIGHT?

A wise man once said'When you fear the future,focus on your present and when you fear for the present,focus your vision on the future'

First of all,you have to acknowledge the fact that every man has his own fear but the differentiating factor is who has control over the other.Are you in control of your fear or the other way round? Fear is

F-False

E-Evidence

A-Appearing

R-Real

Fear in inevitable. I once feared I was growing into a man without purpose. At some point in your life,you will come across fear but your ability to exercise control over such situation determines its outcome. Fear is built on past failures. With success comes failure, paradoxical right,but true;try and fail,then try again. Until you are able to outcome the fear of the the past,make the most of the present,the future is an uncertainty. You are permitted to fail,not to end up a failure. Overcome that fear,keep trying,keep pushing,never let your guard down,do not be dissuaded.The only way to predict your future is for you to create it. Nothing starts until you start. Embrace your fear,gain mastery over it.Focus on the present with the future in mind.
