What is Fear? Fear is an emotion, a feeling, and although traditionally fear has been despised and fearlessness has been appreciated, I believe fear just like every other emotion has its own purpose in life and hence it should be equally respected. In fact I believe fear is good, here’s how:

Fear is good because it means you’re thinking of &/ or  moving towards something unconventional. [Tweet]

Fear is good because it means you’re thinking of, moving towards, and considering something unconventional… So in that sense, fear is the first step in the journey you’re about to embark on. Fear is good because it’s an inbuilt threat alert system which helps us filter the bad and dangerous situations and happenings.

Fear is good because it keeps you on your toes and moving. [Tweet]

Fear is good because it keeps you on your toes and moving. Fear of being hurt or loss or being criticized, consistently keeps you to do better, so that you don’t loose the reputation, the money, the status, etc that you have already built or earned.

Fear is good because it tell you what’s important to you. [Tweet]

Fear is good because it tell you what’s important to you. Think about it, would you be fearful about something you don’t care about. No. This means fear if examined carefully can help you identify what’s important and what is not.

Fear is good, because it keeps your thought process in check. [Tweet]

Fear is good, because it keeps your thought process in check. Being bold and aggressive is one thing and being foolish is totally another. Fair amount of fear makes you question yourself, your ideas and the feasibility of your ideas, and questions bring you close to the truth. The truth may scare the crap out of you but, it will also set you free.
