A quote that helps me with overcoming my fears is “You cannot keep running away from your fears. At some point in life you will have to build up the courage to face and overcome

In our world fear roams everywhere. In our streets, businesses, schools, and homes. Fear has caused wars, and treaties. Fear can cause people to start something amazing or horrific. People can change because of fear of a thing.

When it comes to fear, it can sometimes get the best of you. It holds you back from doing things in your life because you are to afraid of what might come next. Fear is when you reach the top of the rollercoaster and you look down to see your life drop before your eyes, and there is no way out. Fear is when you work so hard on something only to freeze up when you have to share it in front of people. In life fear is always getting in our way, Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi, writes, “ I must say a word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent, Only fear can defeat life” ( Martel 161). If our fears keep pulling us back in life, then they are ones causing the problem, they controlling our life.

Change, the process of all growth and life, is greeted generally with a feeling of fear. Fears seem to sneak up on us, drenching us in sweat sending our heart rate rocketing, leaving us quaking and shivering. Some fears we see coming and our body and mind prepare to fight or flee. We understand those kinds of fears and can use rational thinking , stress reduction, and plan our actions to combat those fears. Various things help reduce our sense of helplessness, which is a common emotion experienced with fear.

“Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out.”-Karl Augustus Menninger.

Everyone experiences fear in one point of their lifetime. Fear is a common emotion that affect people mentally and physically. Such as, causing a person to be so scared that they can't even move or can cause a person’s fear to overcome them enough to be challenged mentally and produce erratic and illogical thinking, therefore overcoming their own morals and reasoning. Fear fueled imagination overcomes reason by altering someone's morals, by changing their emotional point of view, and by motivating people to do irrational actions.

There are currently 7.442 billion people in the world. 7.442 people in the world that are all experiencing fear. Accordingly, out of those people in the world, 19.2 have a specific phobia caused by fear. Now, the way all people see the world is differently. Therefore, we all have fear of different things. In other words, everyone once in their lifetime is going to have fear or something. Whether that fear is being scared to ride a 72 Mph roller coaster, going to see the dentist, or just being themselves. The real question is, is fear for the good or bad? Fear could come in both ways, but if we were never scared of anything, would we even overcome some of the thing we do? What if the only reason you rode that 72 Mph roller coaster was being your friend pressured you into it, or what if you only went the dentist, was because your mom said she would give you candy afterwards. What if people still today never become themselves because they're too scared of what other people maybe think of them. These are all types fear and this is the process of overcoming it.

Both of these quotes seem to ring true. Fear can make people do things they would not normally do, but they can also overcome their fear with a much stronger and positive emotion. Fear is a common motif in literature, especially in The Hunger Games and Divergent, two immensely popular and influential young adult book series. Many have debated how similar these books are, which has some truth. Both take place in a dystopian world and feature a young woman leading a rebellion, who struggles with love in the meantime. The books are not exact copies of each other, though. However similar they may be, both novels convey ideas such as love, governmental, and societal influence very differently.

Fear is an emotion that is common today, both in the secular and Christian camps. Many become scared over minute things, but then there are those who have strong fears about events in their past that then cause fear about future events. How do we know when we should be fearful and when we should simply be cautious? Overall, the book was excellent, and it offered a strong approach to understanding fear and how to overcome it. And while I understand Dr. Ken Nichols’s intent, I would be interested in learning how to apply the content of this book in the context of a counseling session.

Fear is a natural emotion. Many try to suppress their fears to no avail. While others say they fear nothing, some learn to live with their fear.

Mark Twain does not deny that fear exists, rather his quote, “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear,” suggests that fear exists, but it is controllable. Everyday examples could range from attending a skydiving event to overcome the fear and the anxiety of heights to as little as standing up to sights of spiders or even clowns.

As I sat side stage, my legs twitched, palms sweat and avoiding eye contact with anyone surrounding a stressed inner silence consumed me as I gazed down at the ground, with my vision as hazy as my brain felt. I felt a sea of anxiety deep down like a swarm of butterflies trying to escape. I could feel my heart pulse rapidly increase as each second passed, as I clenched onto my surrounding teammates hands with a firmer grip. A two minute speech could not have gone any slower, and all I wanted to know was if we had made it… or not.

The definition of Fear is "an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat." But most of us see fear, not as a petrifying thing but as the push we need to something we have never done before. "If we survive a bad experience, we never forget how to avoid it in the future.
