YES I AM SCARED

Hello beautiful people, this is my first blog and I have a confession to make. Yes, I get scared whenever I try to do new things.

This is scientifically called Neophobia; the fear to try something new. It's one of the most common phobias.

The important question here is why do we get scared, I mean what is it that holds us back. It's FAILURE and "WHAT WILL PEOPLE SAY"? We are so used to success stories that we are scared of failure and if we do fail we feel that all of the hard. work, energy and time spent will be nugatory.

It's a psychological fact that as humans we focus on the output that is ONLY SUCCESS. Have you ever seen a toddler trying to walk ? He falls so many times, unit he is finally able to walk.

Life always offers us with two options either try and take everything head on or shirk it to avoid failure.

Almost all of the successful people failed at some point of time in their life. The reason that they succeed is that they never gave up in spite of all the failures. So, the next question is why is failure so under-rated ?

Actually it is not, we have only under-rated it. We overlook it in front of all the glam, success and fame these people have. The people who have worked day in day out to achieve what they have today and we think that it just happened overnight.

So, failure is nothing to be ashamed of, it is better that not trying. I know, sounds cliché but it is so true.

Now, coming back to the part what to do to overcome this fear. It is JUST DO IT

Disappointed. Yeah me too. Since this is THE only solution lets talk about the execution part.

So, whenever you try something new and feel scared, take a deep breath and tell yourself it's gonna be perfect...

I know it is not as simple as it sounds, just remember Rome is not built in a day.

So, today take a step for yourself and try something that you are scared off, something small and when you feel scared take a deep breath and you know what to do.

I am gonna try this too and let's see what happens. What is the the worst case scenario ? You will fail right ! Don't share this with anyone henceforth no one to let down.

I am gonna end this by saying " don't let your results decide whether you are a winner or a looser. Your efforts are all that matters". If you try you won't regret not trying and who knows maybe you succeed.
