How To Overcome Fear?

I may be repeating this, but this is the best example. Can you walk on the 6 inch boundary of the footpath? Try walking. It would be like catwalk, but you can do it. Would it be any better if you were asked to walk on a path of 12 inch wide. Yes, definitely. It is so easy. Now, if I say the path is 6 feet high. Suddenly, it becomes difficult. But not impossible. You may still try it. Why did it become difficult? Because when we are walking on a 12 inch path on ground, you know nothing will happen if you go wrong. And 99 times out of 100, you will be able to walk on that path. However, when this path is taken at a height of six feet, it appears difficult. The one and only one reason is the question, the imagination that comes to your mind. And that is, 'what if I fall'? The fear of falling, here and at other places, the fear of failing. There is no risk associated when you are walking on ground level on the same path. Even if you go wrong, nothing to worry. However, as you go high, it becomes difficult and impossible, later. This is induced by the fear factor. 

I had seen one program on Discovery, where a man takes up the challenge to walk on a very narrow path of 6 inch; the path is connecting two multistory building tops. He trains his mind for one full month using different techniques including meditation, walking at increasing heights, walking through a virtual reality program, etc. After a month, he is successful in training his mind and completes the challenge. 

The key to overcome fear is belief. Belief in yourself as well as others is important. You must first believe in your mind that you can do that. Half of the war is won there. The rest is about training. You need to move in the direction of training your mind or body to be able to complete the task. You should not be inactive. You should do something. You cannot go one day and walk on a path at 50 meters high or 20 meters high. It will take training. You will have to do it step by step. You should be able to analyze and look for mistakes that happened last time when you failed. Instead of taking the failure to heart, you should rather analyze what could have been done differently to successfully complete the task. And do whatever is needed. Acceptance is very necessary. If you fear something, fear that. Acceptance will lower the intensity of the fear. The next step is to tell your mind that you can do something about it and you are positive & confident that you will do it. The moment you do that, your fear level will be down to 1-2 from level 9-10. This itself will bring in confidence in you and once that confidence, that belief, that faith comes in, there is no one who can beat you. 

Go & Win the World.
