Empower Yourself: Overcoming Fear and Embracing Challenges

Hi Guys,

The more I think about the subject, the more it fascinates me. Before, during, and after walking on fire, I have seen many people breaking down when they find their new inner self. Most of the impossible tasks look quite possible when we challenge our own fears.

In Ralph Waldo Emerson's words, "Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain."

Hi Nitin Sharma,

This is a post of a different kind.

Motivating people to overcome fear by asking them to do what they shudder to think.

Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote is very appealing.

You have given two expansions of FEAR using it as an acronym.

If I may add another ‘Fear’ can be looked upon as FAULTY EVALUATION (of) APPARENT (&) REALITY.

The US President during World War II, Franklin D Roosevelt ,coined a powerful quote on Fear.

Courtesy “Brainy Quotes”, I have attached the same for all our readers to see, enjoy and

appreciate the theme.

While your post talks about various phobias and the way to overcome them, what interests me is your signature –

‘Fire Walk’. If I may share with all the readers, walking on a red hot bed of Charcoal is an attractive part of Temple rituals in many villages in Tamil Nadu. Watching it is in itself a fascinating experience. People gather in large numbers to watch the ritual ( termed THEE MIDHI THIRUVIZHA – that translates into – ‘festival of walking on fire’).

Thanks for your post.

Hi V. Raghunathan,

Thank you so much for sharing a valuable PDF with us. I am very happy to see the FEAR acronym list growing by one more - FAULTY EVALUATION of APPARENT (&) REALITY. I have heard a lot about the festival of walking on fire, but I haven't had a chance to experience that yet. We are using the same spirit to conquer the fears that hold each one of us back from growing.

That's why I say, everyone can be a Superman. You just need a little fire to ignite those special powers in you :)

Keep sharing.

Thanks,
Nitin

Hi Nitin Sharma,

Nice to see your reply. I just thought the attachments might arouse the interests and give confidence to those who dare to challenge limits.
