Many times we cancel things when we want to do them because there is fear in us, False Emotions Appearing Real (Fear) is a false emotion that seem real. It is false because it has not happened yet we feel it so real. For example when we need to do medical check up we may think about someone else who has the same condition as us and think perhaps we will get the same dieases then we get stress eventhough we have not seen the doctor yet. I have a friend who is so afraid of a frog, even he can lose consciousness if he touches it accidentally. Once he said, but my fear of frogs is not a problem because I only afraid of if and what is the importance of a frog in life. I think the important thing is not the object of our fear but the fear itself. Can we overcome that fear? Because fear is a form of emotion despite the object of it, and we should overcome that emotion. I remember a movie titled Anger Management, starring Jack Nicholson, Adam Sandler and Marisa Tomei. Dave has a psychiatric disorder that he is afraid of showing his love to his girlfriend in public area. Then with the help of an expert anger Therapy named DR Buddy, he was brought back to remember all his childhood memory. And the psychiatric found Dave's problems. His fear came from trauma when he was a kid that made him angry but he kept his anger. He undertook a series of therapy program to overcome his fear by overcoming his anger, let go of such useless emotion from his soul. In a book titled Fear Management by Anand Krishna explained several fear that are available in human being so that we can overcome it in order to trigger our evolution. In the book contained 158 pages, published by PT. Gramedia Pustaka Utama Mr. Anand Krishna invites us to manage the fear we have, we cannot possibly eliminate the fear since fear itself is a source of energy that can be utilized to enhance the spiritual evolution in this life. So, please take a moment to go through this useful book. Keep empowering ourselves!!
