FEAR

Fear is the feeling we get that counters success. Many people accuse fear of being the determent to our success, however fear is a very vital part of our society. Fear is the emotion, while the cause of fear is always anticipated failure. In any situation there is something we hope to accomplish, a goal. To balance this out we have a failure so that the goal becomes visible. Without failure the goal would be invisible and would simply seem like a a step forward but not a step up. Fear pushes us to reach for the goal. We see the possible failure and we don't want to go there, instead we go up. However if there is too much fear it could prevent us from even going forward, we might even end up avoiding the choice. Fear is a fear of failure. If we fear failure too much, we begin to fear the choice.

What we need to do is to overcome this fear. Once we overcome the fear of failure, everything will be guarantied to be better. With all that failure juxtaposing the goal, it will make the goal seem even better when it is fulfilled. If you do fail, you will remember it. And the purpose of memory is for us to learn from. We learn from what we have done wrong to improve ourselves if we ever face a similar encounter again. That is wisdom; wisdom is how to improve ourselves. Wisdom is the key to getting past fear. Even if you don't have enough wisdom, just take the extra step and get wisdom whether you fail or not.

Take for example, confessing your love. The fear is the fear of rejection, the wisdom will be all your past experiences with that person and with love in general, the failure is getting rejected, and the success is him/her saying yes. Everything can be boiled down to example and can be analyzed but if you don't act, there is no point in analyzing it.
