A MAN'S WORST ENEMY........

(iStock/frimages)

     Terror, panic, agitation, anxiety... these are just few synonyms to describe this feeling. Fear and self-doubt are powerful and unpleasant human emotions caused by a threat of harm or pain. I also like to call them man's worst enemy. Many of us have goals and dreams that we can't stop thinking about and dying to achieve but Mr Fear and Miss Self-doubt wouldn't let us be great. Let's take a look at this;

  Denzel is 23 years old, he just graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting (first class honours), Denzel is vibrant, talented and full of potential.          He has a clear vision of what he wants his life to look like in the next five to ten years, he has brilliant ideas that will make those dreams come to fruition, in fact he has a whole journal where he writes down his ideas and how he would execute them. 

    Denzel thought to himself, now that I have graduated, it would be a good time to focus on my goals💪 but he made a huge mistake of letting two people into his life--- Mr Fear and Miss Self-doubt. He became fast friends with them during the process of him setting up one of his goals which is (creating a bluetooth but for money, so you do not require the recipient's' bank account number to send money just their phone code lol). This seems like a great plan if you ask me but becoming friends with Mr Fear and Miss Self-doubt put a huge strain on his plans, his mind was twisted by them, they told him to focus on the consequences of failing and told him his idea sucked. He started to panic and get anxious, he went from "I can do this" to "I can't do this" and still in this trial he was introduced to Mr Procrastination, it's like all three of them work hand in hand looking for a victim to damage, they succeed most times. You can have your eyes set on route A but they entice you with route Y and Z, it messes you up but you feel it is the safest way out i.e. Instead of trying and maybe failing OR winning, you would rather not do it at all or you procrastinate for so long and end up doing it with Self-doubt in mind, that the end result have you feeling like 'you could have done better'.

    The moral of my long fictional anecdote is don't make friends with Fear and Self-doubt, they want you to stoop down to their level. Denzel never went ahead with his amazing business plan, instead he is working 9-5 in bank (which is not really a bad but considering his fantastic idea... Wow). "Do not be like Denzel", stay positive always, it can be hard but you should at least try.
