Six major fears that prevent us from living

Even when we are happy, safe and confident in ourselves and are not afraid of anyone or anything, we are frightened by our own inner fears. And although we stubbornly do not want to feel such an unpleasant emotion as fear, even in itself the experience of fear scares a person.

Every person in some period of his life becomes a victim of one of six basic fears: fear of death, illness, old age, poverty, fear of loss of love and fear of human judgment. Fear undermines self-confidence, in its own forces, stifles inspiration and enthusiasm, turning a person into a "trembling creature." Moreover, fear itself is often experienced more painfully than a reaction to a situation in which what you were afraid of would have already happened.

But we are not at all obliged to become submissive slaves to our fears. And you can start with the fact that you can put them in place in the far corner of the soul, calling for the help of the most ordinary logic.

  • Afraid of death? - But after all, death is still inevitable. Alas, the death sentence was already signed at birth. Death will come whether you think about it or not. A great reason to think about life more often.
  • We will suffer poverty? - But the classic claims that poverty is not a vice. And some multimillionaires claim that they once cleaned shoes for passersby. So poverty is not an end, but a prospect.
  • Suddenly, the disease will strike down? - An excellent reason for fear of abandoning bad habits and trying on the rules of a healthy lifestyle.
  • Love will inadvertently leave? - Well ... If the bride goes to another, then it is unknown who was lucky.
  • People condemn? - Look at the Bible: "Do not judge, you will not be judged"
  • Old age? - We will be active, cheerful and not indifferent, and "old age will not be found at home." She, the old woman, would have to knock on another house in the hope of finding someone else there.

Well, perhaps, fear is not so terrible, as we have it.
