Fear is Your Duty
Carl Jung says: Where the fear is, there is your task. Such a perspective can shed light on dealing with our fears. Many of us live adapted to living with our fears, trapped within invisible boundaries. However, it doesn't have to be this way. Life is a long journey, and we deserve to make the most of it.
Having such a perspective can make us stronger in life. With the leverage it provides, we can move our lives forward. To do this, we need to change our paradigm in the light of Jung's meaningful words. Then, we can turn each of our fears into a personal development story where we overcome them one by one, day by day.
Even the simplest fears have the power to limit our freedom, a power we give to them. And now, we have a chance to take that power back. If we don't seize this opportunity today, we will confine ourselves within our limited world and never realize our true potential.
Now, take a pen and paper and list your personal fears as they come to mind. Set a timeframe for overcoming each one. Create an action plan on how to deal with them.
Some fears are hidden deep, like an excavation to uncover them. Some are tightly intertwined. Overcoming one might lead to the unraveling of others.
Many fears stem from ignorance. Perhaps you need to seek knowledge and education. As your knowledge grows, your fear diminishes, and you feel more confident.
Many fears are learned. To overcome them, you need awareness and questioning. Challenge what you already know bravely.
All of this will happen with a combination of time, effort, and willingness, ultimately making you freer. You can see each of your fears as a task that will lead you to a better version of yourself. These small, enjoyable, and instructive tasks will enable you to achieve more from life and yourself.
