HOW TO BUILD CONFIDENCE AND DESTROY FEAR.
How to Conquer Fear. |
Friends mean well when they say ''it's only your imagination, don't worry. there is nothing to be afraid of''.
yes fear is real and we must recognize it exist before we can conquer it. most fear today is psychological. worry, tension, embarrassment, panic all stern from a mismanaged negative imagination.
This story will give you a perfect description on how to conquer fear.
During World War II the navy made sure that all of its new recruits either knew how to swim or learned how to with the reason being, of course, that the ability to swim might someday save the sailor's life at sea.
Non swimming recruits were put into swimming classes. I watched a number of this training experiences. in a superficial sort of way. i was really suprised for what i saw.
Young healthy men terrified by a few feet of water. one of the exercises required the new sailor to jump_not dive from a board six feet in the air into eight or more feet of water while a half dozen expert swimmers stood by. the fear those young men displayed was real. yet all that stood between them and the fear was one drop into the water below. on one occasion a young man was accidentally pushed into the water and the resultant fear defeated.. this incident illustrates just one point i must make clear.
Action and Action alone cures fear, indecision and postponement on the other hand incubates fear.
