Thought you might be interested in an article Why Fear Should Be Your Compass in Life, Not a Deterrent and thought I’d share a few points with you here. I’ve found some relevant information here so if I find more, I’ll be sure to pass it on.
The greatest obstacles in life are always internal
They’re our fears, laziness, a belief that we’re not worthy of our dreams and ambitions. The obstacles, being internal, are then solved in the same space.
When you face your fears, you break down your obstacles and create a newer, better version of yourself that does have the belief and confidence needed to accomplish the loftier of our dreams.
Move Towards Your Fears. Don’t Run From Them.
Fear is often coupled with adventure, as it should be. A life lived in the pursuit of adventure is a life that truly embodies the essence of living. There’s a reason why the excitement and the thrill of an adventure is so intoxicating. It goes far beyond the release of endorphins that give us a natural high. Adventure is an experience that makes us feel alive. In this case fear is something we should move towards, not run from.
But fear should also be mentioned with our most audacious dreams. It’s fear that stops us from living a fulfilled life, but it’s also fear that shows us what really matters in life.

7 年If someone has to pump himself /herself up to just get the mind strong enough to move the body to do 'something' to be able to face peers, colleagues, society, then trying to 'overcome fears' about big goals is very low on priority list And medication, advice, counselling, support, guidance, coaching...all obvious routes to overcome the 'fears' and 'laziness' come at a price - often unaffordable by a large no. of people.. I'm yet to come across motivators and counsellors who help people free of charge. And a popular argument given against free support is that if its free, its not valued.. The truth again is that a real needy person will grab on to any support till the need is reasonably satisfied.

7 年However, there's another piece of info, that is often left unacknowledged... For a vast majority of people, I think, ' fear' certainly is the main obstacle..And 'laziness' is another. In an ideal world where everyone is blessed with similar capabilities and live in similar circumstances, this would be it...embrace the unknown, overcome the fear and shed laziness.. But reality is that fear is out of 'insecurity'... Laziness could be out of 'depressive' tendencies.. Where do these come from... Circumstances in which people have been living in.. If someone has to make a choice everyday between 'go after your dreams' and feed a dependant family that may end up in a much worse situation if left alone...the choice is often obvious.
