Does Fear Ever Go Away?
Does Fear Ever Go Away?
All of us have experienced fear in our lives. Fear can cause us to experience numerous adverse effects, including those on our well-being, aging, quality of work and life, the size of our dreams, and the goals we choose to pursue.
Is it possible to live a life without any fear? Does fear ever go away?
Fear cannot ever go away because it serves a purpose in our lives. We should be thankful that we have a built-in system that constantly alerts us to potential dangers in life.
Our brains are designed to prioritize survival, and that is why when we experience anything new or out of our comfort zone, we become fearful because our brain is trying to gage whether we are in a dangerous situation.
Since most of our fears are not truly justified and do not pose a true threat to our survival, it is better not to let these types of fear stop us from dreaming big and living our dream, purposeful and fulfilling life by taking the necessary actions required.
We have to learn to act despite fear in non-life-threatening situations like these because everyone should live a life trusting that life is always happening for us and the universe always has our back, instead of letting our fear stop us from taking action on things that lead to our own growth and a better life of purpose.
Next, let’s discuss 10 reasons to live your life from trust instead of fear.
10 Reasons To Live Your Life From Trust
Do you live your life from fear or trust? You can build a life from fear, and many people do. You can make decisions from doubt, protect yourself from risk, and avoid discomfort. Fear might keep you safe, but it will never make you free. Trust, on the other hand, helps you expand.
Here are 10 reasons why living a life of trust will always outperform a life built on doubt and fear.
Trust Expands Your Vision
Fear narrows your thinking. Trust expands what you believe is possible. When you operate from fear, you ask: “What if this fails?” When you operate from trust, you ask: “What if this works?” Trust always enlarges possibilities.
Trust enables you to pursue a life of infinite possibilities, dreaming big, and aspire to a vision of a bigger and better life. This then vision pulls you to have bigger goals and to take bold actions towards a purposeful life.
Trust Strengthens Decision Making
Fear leads to hesitation and overthinking. Trust leads to clarity and movement. You may not have all the answers, but trust allows you to act with confidence anyway. Decisive people move further than doubtful ones.
You will know that no matter what you decide to do, you will be guided towards the next step. So instead of being confused with your decisions, you will know that you can make the decision and then trust that you will be guided towards the next step.
Trust Protects Your Peace
Fear keeps your nervous system in survival mode. Trust stabilizes your emotions. When you trust in your creator, preparation, and resilience, anxiety loses its grip. Peace becomes your baseline instead of panic.
If you know and trust that life is happening for you, then you will know without a doubt that you will always be okay. You know that you are always loved and supported by your creator.
Even if you make mistakes, you will know that this is happening for you and there are lessons that you have to learn so that you can serve your purpose in a bigger and better way.
Trust Builds Resilience
Fear says, “I can’t handle this.” Trust says, “If it happens, I’ll adapt.” Trust doesn’t eliminate challenges. It strengthens your capacity to face them. Resilient people do not avoid storms; they stand firm in them.
You will know that you are bigger than any problem out there. You will not give up because your strength, power, and intelligence comes from your creator, and your soul.
Trust Improves Relationships
Fear makes you defensive. Doubt creates suspicion. Trust allows vulnerability and connection. When you operate from trust, you are not constantly guarding yourself. You build deeper, healthier relationships.
You will trust that it is okay for people to be in and also go out of your life is happening for their and your greatest good.
You will be able to connect and will have better relationships with those people because you will know that everybody is there for a reason and purpose. Even people that you do not get along with and like are there to serve a purpose in your life.
Trust Unlocks Courage
Courage is not the absence of fear. It is action in the presence of it. Trust gives you the confidence to step forward even when outcomes are uncertain, unlike fear, which waits for guarantees.
Trust moves with conviction. Learn to be courageous and take a leap and act with fear in one hand and faith in the other.
Trust Fuels Growth
Growth requires risk. If you live in fear, you will stay in what is familiar. If you live in trust, you will explore what’s possible. Every breakthrough in your life will require trust.
You will know that if life is happening for me, then when things do not go well, you have to learn something from what happened, and you will not be scared to do things that are out of your comfort zone because you will know that you are learning and growing.
Trust Reduces Regret
Fear often leads to inaction. And inaction creates regret. Trust might lead to lessons, but rarely regret. It is better to say, “I tried,” than “I wish I had.”
You will know whatever happened in the past happened for you to develop you so that you can grow and serve your purpose.
You overcame some challenges so that you can serve others and help them overcome the same challenges faster. Regrets are a waste of your energy and lead to unnecessary suffering.
Trust Aligns With Your Purpose
When you live in fear, your choices revolve around safety. When you live in trust, your choices revolve around calling. Trust allows you to pursue what you feel led to do, even when it is uncomfortable. Purpose requires trust.
When you trust that life is happening for you, then you will know without a doubt that who you are becoming is needed for you to serve your purpose.
Trust Creates Freedom
Fear is a cage built from imagined outcomes. Trust is the key. When you stop obsessing over what could go wrong, you start fully engaging with what could go right. Trust frees your mind. And freedom changes everything.
You will know that you are always loved and supported, and that as long as you are living a life in alignment with your soul, and it’s purpose and calling that you will always be guided and okay.
In conclusion, you now know that fear cannot ever go away because it serves a purpose in our lives. We should be thankful that we have a built-in system that constantly alerts us to potential dangers in life.
