We are afraid of the wrong things


You might be afraid of the dark, cockroaches, death or even heights; we are all afraid of something, but most of the time we are afraid of the wrong things. All our fears come from within us so no matter what we fear most of the time these “things” are actually ourselves.

I think that the worst fear that someone can have, which is a fear that most people have, is the fear of not being capable of success. Most people don’t have an idea of their true potential and instead of trying something new they leave it because there are afraid of not succeeding in it.

People get to comfortable where they are and this holds them back from progressing and succeeding. They tend to live on the “what ifs” instead of trying and risking the possibility of failure. Even if you fail you are actually succeeding because you will learn something from the experience and this will help you grow and be successful with the next attempt.

Being afraid of your own potential will only cause harm to yourself and create more barriers and more things to be afraid of. It may sound cliché but you have to be the one who believes in yourself the most because if you don’t, nobody will.
