I read some parts of the book of Napoleon Hill entitled Think and Grow Rich and even I just read few pages of it and I still want to finish it in the future. Its content was like packed with full of lessons at the very start. It has taught me how to make things happen by conditioning my mind of doing things with affirmation. It’s kinda like having your own thoughts to put into words and by law of attraction it’s gonna happen. Moreover, having the desire of the things that you wanna do is a critical one, I would say again you can relate it also to grit. That simple thought of yours can make a breakthrough in your life.
You need not to fear to do something that you desire.
I would like to define first what fear is, in my personal point of view it is the feeling and state of mind that a person can experience without distinct reason behind it. It is very subjective and it can be defined only by own self that not anybody else can dictate just like the thing called love.
According to the book, there are certain fears that we could face in our lives and people can outwit those fears. Fear started in a simple indecision in which this simple thought fosters doubts towards things and that how fear takes over.
Here are The Six Basic Fears identified by Napoleon Hill
THE FEAR OF POVERTY

THE FEAR OF DEATH
People can conquer these fears by conquering thoughts of being scared.
What beats me most is the fear of unknown. Not knowing is not a comfortable thought but I take one step at a time, plan, work on it and hope for the best.
That’s the hardest struggle facing the fear of the unknown but you do have certain things that make your thinking to be good like being optimistic hoping that everything is gonna be ok at its best.
Yes, fear can stop people from just wanting to get out of bed to face the day. However, life goes on and you have to.
I have had to live with fear for a very long time for some periods of my life…One can never say that it is not going to happen to you, but when you are afraid ..you must listen to your instincts.
Your gut instinct can save your life.
However, you must discern between life threatening and something that does not kill you.
So sad to hear that you suffered foe a long time for fear. But I like how you uplift your spirit in times of situation like this
I turn to reading inspirational verses, that is why I sometimes quote the bible but there are people and other quotes that can also uplift you…
Religion is like a habit, but kind thoughts are a discipline…
Diverting your attention from devastating situation to a good habit would be a better way out.
I also found refuge in creativity..
Yes I think we all have this fear but it helps broaden our minds.
A very revealing article. The “dream” catcher in your logo is very appropriate in your life. Job 33 in the Bible, will show that there is a great deal more to dreams than meets the eye.
Thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate it. Not a bible reader though but definitely have faith in God.
The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown
-H P Lovecraft
Yes it is. Hard to conquer but doable
If it weren’t, we’d never try anything new…
Very true. Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate it
You are most welcome
Now, ain’t that a fact Alex? Our most powerful emotion is an enquiring mind and is constantly figuring out ways defy fear.
an enquiring mind isn’t an emotion. and I’m just quoting the father of modern horror, I never said it was a fact
but since you’re asking, yes. I do think it is a fact (but I can’t prove it)
I’m trying to avoid fear, but I do not always succeed
You have to do it again and again until you train your mind to succeed in any aspects of life
The fear i have is the fear of losing someone at home. but i know nothing lasts forever
I got you girl, that is how we really cope up by putting in our mind that everything will be gone whatever it is and that there is no permanent thing in this world except change
Thanks for that. We can’t keep forever so better make the best of everything everyday.
Dear Mavic, you have just expressed the modern version of what’s written in Psalm 23: “Though I enter the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil because, though art with me.” Every one of us enters that valley of the shadow of death, from one breath to the next! It is only inside that little pause from the last breath to the next, that we all need to face our common destiny, by saying as you do: “But I know, nothing lasts forever.”
* Not though but thou, (It’s 3:00 am, sorry)
Yes I know nothing lasts forever. I am ready for this.
Fear can overtake life. I “try” to avoid it at all cost.
That’s how our mentality should work!! Two thumbs up for you Ghostwriter
When you have died, from an incurable disease like lung cancer, as I did!
Yes, this is not a cheap attention-getting statement,
it sure went down like this.
Out went my pain filled last breath, and back I came 3 minutes later, minus the pain. The black tar-filled lungs in the one set of ex-rays and two, lungs, clean as a whistle in the new ex-rays a week later. One tends to live in the space of every moment from that point on.
