Don't let fear corrupt your heart
Don't let fear poison your heart. When fear enters our hearts it paralyses and overtake us.
It stop us from living our dreams and following our hearts.
We can only run from our fears for so long before we ultimately have to face them, unless we give in only to end up miserable our whole life living in regret and sorrow.
Fear is a product of our thoughts and cannot be compared danger. Danger is that consuming feeling when you hear a bear growling behind you and you don't know whether to lie down with you're hands over your head or run for your life. Danger... Is real!
When fear of failure overcomes the will off succeeding a great psychological battle going on. Most of the times we are afraid of failing, but the same time we are afraid of never trying. So basically we are afraid of acting and not acting...
We fear change, but change is inevitable. Fear can only be resisted for so long before we get shoved into it somehow. Because we tend to attract what we set our minds to. So if we focus on fear, we attract more fear. Makes sense right?
the only thing we have to fear is fear itself - Franklin D. Roosevelt
How to overcome your fears!
We don't understand. If you cannot understand it, so try to understand what you're fearing, dive into it and really explore where your fears are coming from.
I have also found out that the fear of loosing is something that should be exiled from our lives, we should enjoy our times with our loved ones here and now and not worrying about what might happen in the future, which no one know nothing about. Unless you are Nostradamus or some psychic.
When I really want something I need to my self that the will for success is bigger than the fear of failure.
Take for example if I have fear of heights, the only way to master fear if heights is facing that fear and overcome it.
It's just a matter of ruling our minds and not giving into our fears. It might take a few days or a few years, but the feeling of overcoming my fears are far greater than the fears itself, because it is a victory itself to be courageous and victorious

Indeed we can overcome our fears and reach new places. But I find some of Artistotle's quotes misleading at times. The chain of obedience to authority is one of the largest problems we have. Good men don't blindly obey from love, that's a fool. Good men know what they are doing because they know the difference between right and wrong and don't obey. Fearful men will obey authority from fear, and foolish men will obey authority from love. I don't know specifically what he was referring to when he used "obey" though...
Interesting interpretation. I believe it to be that wicked men obey from fear because they fear the consequences, but good men obey from love because they are willing to stand up and fight for what is right and that love has no possession.
Don't know if that made sense, but could be either way.
So obey "the good" I guess? Sure that fits! One does right/good to avoid the consequences of doing wrong/evil, and one does right/good because it is right/good for its own sake. Thanks.
