Fear!

We all have fears, they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and affect people at all ages. Having a fear or fears is pretty natural. Sometimes we can tell them out and sometimes we cant really put a finger on them. The only problem is that it feeds on us and makes us weak. When faced with them, we can have myriad of reactions, we can go numb, paralyzed or hysterical.

Running away from them or putting them at the back of our mind isn't going to help. We need to learn to face our fears. That is the only way to lay them to rest. And once we can be free of our fear's clutches, I believe we can live more freely and definitely much more happily.

I myself suffered from hydrophobia and to overcome it, I took swimming classes and though it was hard at the beginning but I did finally learn to swim and although I still need to work on my dive, I think I have come a long way from being a hydrophobic...

I still have many fears to conquer(ofcourse not to forget the fear of flying) and I believe the only way to do that is to face them. Franklin D. Roosevelt had said in his inaugural address during the Great Depression 1933, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"

And to end with this motivating quote, I would say one last thing, 'Face it!'

The state of indecisiveness!!


Ahh!! Iam writing after a very long time and the topic of this post explains it all.

I've been in a state of indecisiveness over an issue for a very long time now and believe me it is not at all pleasant.

Most people, I guess, do suffer from this and it can range from very trivial matters like deciding what to wear for the next party to making life changing decisions!!

Its always best to stand by your decision once you've made it as that would avert alot of problems..

For me, its always been a big pain. I keep thinking, anaylyzing things and changing my decisions based on different reactions and attitudes of the people involved. But then it gets very tedious and it just becomes a habit and it sticks.

I'm still hoping to find a cure for it :D
