Friday Motivation: Forget Fear, Get It Done!


By Phumzile Mavimbela

Often that not in life  we  tend to postpone going after our dreams because we allow ourselves to being imprisoned by fear.  Fear of  the  known and fear of the unknown can become an obstacle to you tapping into your greatest potential.

Experts define fear as a human emotion that is triggered by a perceived threat. It is a basic survival mechanism that signals our bodies to respond to danger with a fight or flight response. As such, it is an essential part of keeping us safe. However it is of paramount importance to differentiate between fear as triggered by danger and fear as triggered by insecurities as well as low self esteem.

 At times we postpone and in worst case scenarios we never achieve our dreams because we fear failing. That fear comes from  a well of unbelief as well as lacking the needed understanding of the greatness invested in you as a person.

Human beings are wired complexly with great commodities which all in all distinguish us from other forms of creation. We carry greatness  which can only be limited by ourselves, thus we can self harm and self destruct. Imagine that ? no one can limit your potential except you, you are your own worst enemy. from time to it is always best to let our minds to  break down every challenge in order to decipher if the fear you feel towards that challenge is about it yielding psychological, physical  any form of harm for that matter or it stems from  a well of insecurities and disbelief.

It is friday and it may have been a good week for some and a hectic week for others however today remember that there is no harm in trying. The author of Out of The Blur  James  Sudakow articulated  it beautifully when  he said:

" Everyone fails. For many, fear of failure is paralyzing and holds them back from trying something new, taking a risk, or taking a step towards their goals." 

Lets talk about the misfortunes in life lets say in a worse case if you try and you fail, does not mean you should give up. Infact that should serve as a point of reference and road to equip you with the necessary push to try again. Remember in every season of life  it still remains your responsibility to turn failure into success. That process comes with analyzing your actions and learning from your mistakes. Life does not come with a manual, we learn as we go, we fall and get back up again. We always strive to try again after failing and when we are tired we take a break we do not give up.  Happy Friday!
