Acting in the face of fear will never be easy, but afterward you'll always be glad you did it. I remember the first time I speak English with a foreigner in my work place, I felt pretty nervous but then I though, "Why not leave my comfort zone and give it a try?" Little by little I gain self confidence and now I can say I do not feel any nervous as before. It makes me feel good to talk and I can state my opinion well in front of those people.
Some people say: Never let your fears make your decisions! Yeah, fear is the worth thing of all that can trigger ourselves down. But why do we fear? Why don't we give away our fear? It's a common emotion that everyone has. I remember the time I had a crush on a girl which I should not mention her name here, that I never asked her out and never dear to say good to her. Honestly, it was because of my fears whispered, "She my not like you. She may have a boyfriend already and who know she may think that you are such fool stupid person who never look at yourself and dare to ask her out." This feeling kick me down and never dare to date a girl.
You see fear is an extremely strong enemy within ourselves.So don't let your fear make your decision, you make it. There is a quote say: It's not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves."
So if you feel like you want to:
- make a new friend, do it
- date a girl, do it
- speak to a person whom you never dare to, do it
- try something new, do it
- break an old habit, do it
- write a thank you letter to a friend, do it
Or even if you want to say I love you to a person whom you love.... Do it!... even your fear and doubts cream out to you, "You'll fail," "Don't try."
Never let your fear makes your decisions. You make them. You know what? when you have done something that you dare not to do before, you will feel a great sense of personal accomplishment and proud of yourself.
