How to Overcome Fear
With the Power of Love
How to overcome fear is a very important issue. Fear is one of the most powerful emotions that we experience as human beings, and can have far-reaching effects on our lives and our choices. Fear can stop us from following our dreams, taking chances, and allowing ourselves to be happy. Allowing fear to control our lives is equivalent to accepting a jail sentence. Realizing just how powerful and limiting our fears can be is a vital step to taking back control of our lives. There are various different approaches on how to overcome fear. One method is to face those fears head-on. There are definitely times that our demons must be confronted, but there are also times that paying continual attention to something you don’t want in your life only increases its power. If your fears are chronic, and taking up a prominent position in your mind and heart, maybe it is time to cut off their oxygen. An alternative method of how to overcome fear is to focus instead on the emotion that is sometimes considered to be the opposite of fear. This emotion is love. I believe that love is the only emotion that is more powerful than fear, and has the ability to conquer fear. Fear can be compared to an absence of love, just as darkness is an absence of light. When we turn on a light, the darkness simply cannot exist. Likewise, if we can illuminate our fear with pure love, the fear cannot help but vanish. From this perspective, rather than trying to conquer fear, we would be far better served by focusing instead on cultivating love. Love can take many forms, but the essence is the same. It is a pure emotion, the most natural emotion in the world, and yet it can be so hard for many of us to truly experience love. We have piled so much fear into our hearts that we have all but blocked out the light of the love that we were born to radiate and enjoy. Instead of worrying about those layers of fear that keep us from experiencing an abundance of love, look deeper into your soul for the tiniest glimpse of that love. It is there, no matter how deeply buried, and if you can just catch sight of this emotion that is your birth-right as a human being, you can begin to allow that love to grow. Once you have found even the smallest flicker of pure love- oneness with the universe- zero in on that flicker with single-minded zeal. This is the essence of happiness, freedom from fear, and everything that you wish to experience in your life. Study that spark of love, nurture it, obsess about it. Ignore your fears as much as you can, they don’t deserve your interest. In fact, many fears, doubts, and worries will shrivel from a lack of attention. We often feed our fears by obsessing about them. Turn that focus and energy onto the emotion that will best serve you throughout your life. You can cultivate the love in your soul in many ways. Being alone in nature, listening to beautiful music, reading inspiring writing, and being kind to yourself are just a few. If you want to know how to overcome fear, then forget fear, and allow love to take hold of your life. The more you can experience love in your life, the more that fear will dissipate. This anonymous quote sums it up beautifully, “Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.” To consciously rediscover love can show us how to overcome fear by allowing the lessons of fearfulness to unravel and fade away.
