Are you afraid of taking the right decision? Do you escape from tasks because of uncertainty about how to proceed! Does your voice shake in job interviews! It happens that fearfulness ruined your first date?.
Don’t let fear controls you? Fear is a powerful and primitive human emotion. Fear is not necessarily a bad thing. It is one of the inbuilt human survival instinct. Too much fear that paralyses action is a bad thing.
We have to distinguish between positive and negative fear! Sometimes positive fear gives you the chance to reconsider your decision in a critical situation, in other words it can hold the reins of impulsive decisions. Positive fear may prevent you from committing sins, it may even supports you to fight depression and put an end to injustice. Fear sometimes comes out from mercy, humans are afraid of failure when they want to succeed .Those who claims they are not afraid, they definitely lack the essence of bravery. Courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. Instead of allowing fear to stop you , see fear as forcing you to think about the path forward. Fear is not a roadblock . It can be used to clarify the path. When you are fearful, focus on your end goal to stabilize yourself . If you don’t see the hurdle, you can’t jump over it.
Fear may well be the area where the arrow retreated to gain the starting power, fear may be the truce between the turbulents, the breath took by the diver to return to the depths of the sea.
Fear is a human feeling, like any feeling, created by Allah in our hearts for a reason: it may be for the mercy between people, fear of the mother about her children is a mercy, and fear of the leader about his people is justice to them, even lions in the forest afraid when hungry, go hunting and fail to feed her children.
Find strength in your fear . It’s the key to unlocking your potential . Your fear is your power! In the holy Quran Allah said to Moses mother : ” but when thou hast fears about him; cast him in the river “. this ayah is an excellent example, as Moses mother had full trust in Allah and she threw her son in the river. It ended up that Moses became a prophet , Theand he saved the whole nation from destruction. If Joseph Stalin was fearful of killing people, he would not have killed forty million person. The Leaders of second world war, if they were afraid and reconsidered their actions,they would not have killed 60 million victim. Being afraid of Allah protects us from oppression, suppression, cowardice, poverty and unhappy endings. Also obeying Allah rules inspire us with strength and bravery throughout life.
