How Does Fear Control Your Life?

M Bates
Have you ever wondered why fear is so important? Do people ever think about fear and how much it can control a person's life? Fear is a powerful emotion and a lot of people don't realize or think about what fear will do in there life. If you think about it some people can fight in the war and seem so strong and on the other hand you have individuals who maybe scared to leave there house. Why is this? What causes this emotion called fear to control some people so strongly and it seems to have no effect on other people. Do you ever wonder how President Bush can stand in front of billions of people and show no signs of weakness? Fear is very important and if you think about it fear has controlled you in some way in your life. We will take a closer look at fear and try to understand the meaning of it in our lives.

Fear is such a powerful word because it can stop you from doing something you really want to do. Have you ever wanted to speak in front of a crowd of people to express your ideas and opinions? We let fear control us and tell us we can't do it and millions of reasons run through your mind on why you can't do it? If we can take the reasons why we can't do something and turn it around and say we can do it just think how successful you can be. If you will sit down and think how many times we have let an opportunity go by in our life because of fear of the unknown. For instance, an opportunity to start your own business may come alone but you let fear take control of you. A lot of people fear talking to other people on the phone or in person about there business, they fear they will be a failure all there life and they will never accomplish anything.

Are some people born more stronger then other people? A myth that is often referred to that I have heard many times in my life is a women is weaker then a men but is that really true. Do men fear anything? Are they more likely to succeed in everything they do because they don't let fear control them as much as women. I have often wondered why even in school they will always have that one popular person that stand out and show no fear about nothing. The person always seem to win every award and succeed in everything and there peers fear to complete against them. In my class, we had one person that won every award and was so confident it seemed like this person never let anything scare them and they can do anything they put there mind to. Where can a person get this type of strength and determination? Why did this person peer's fear succeeding and never felt they would win an award or succeed.

If we let fear take control of us we will never accomplish anything. It is very important to conquer our fears no matter what that fear maybe. Some people learn how to conquer there fears better then other people so that's why you see some people who became president and some people who are scared to do anything or try anything new. It is important to think about how much we let fear control us everyday of our life.
