RE: Thoughts over coffee: Part Two

in Reflections • 8 months ago

There is a lot of truth in what you say about fear and how to confront it.
It is true that we all have fear and it is not always bad because it allows us to be alert.
But, for me it has been bad to be afraid of failure because in some important stages of my life I let fear win over hope and I missed out on things I wanted and I didn't even know if I could achieve them because I didn't try.

And, that happened to me with a woman I didn't fall in love with because I feared she would reject me or with trying a new job because I thought I couldn't or leaving for another country for fear of not meeting expectations.

In the end, it is better to fail in the pursuit of happiness than to stop being happy for fear of failure.

Happy weekend.

Cheers and greetings.

              Believe me, it has not been easy.

              But, I have understood that I am the result of what I am able to do for myself and, when I want to do something I go for it regardless of the final result,
              I have accepted that fear is part of life, but, fighting against it too.
              I have had more self-respect and self-esteem.
              At this point in life I care less about what people think of me.
              But, above all, I have learned to value my potentialities and I have understood that many times fear was a rowing to failure and that I cared more about what others thought than about my achievements and goals.

                    It sounds like you've got a good handle on it. Well done.
