FEAR
I too had and have many
fears about so many things.
But one particular fear
simply immobilised me for 15 days!
This was about fifteen year
ago story!
I had enrolled my daughter
for a roller skating class.
It used to be amazing to
watch those little kids rolling on the wheels effortlessly.
I got sufficiently motivated
and approached the trainer with little bit hesitancy about my enrolment, since
the oldest kid in that class was 10 year old!
The trainer was happy and
encouraged me to get in!
Next day, I was in the rink
with my roller skating shoes!
Trainer asked me to walk end
to end with those wheels beneath the shoes!
As I started slowly lifting
the leg and keep it forward, a kind of fear gripped all over the body. I
thought all the parents present over there are watching me instead of their
kids!!
I was into ‘what if – then’
vicious cycle.
No rolling at all even after
15 days. The kids who joined a week later were merrily rolling!
Quite annoying moments.
On 16th day, as I
entered the rink, I thought of rolling and nothing else.
Suddenly all fear vanished.
Slowly I rolled.
And, all kids were
applauding!!
That was my best lesson to
understand the fear.
Fear creates more thoughts
pushing us into more fear!
Stepping out of thinking mind is the way to overcome fear.
