Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 173 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
It was said “A truly courageous person is not someone who never feels fear but someone who fears the right thing in the right way, at the right time.” This was said by Aristotle, a philosopher.
What are the true sources of fear? Many people today are scared of what might happen to them in the future because of the economy, because of their health or because of their age. Things are happening; companies are changing so people have the fear of losing their job. The fear of getting sick perhaps, or the fear to, at any given time, being able to use their true feelings where it needs to be. It’s a loss of control in our society and there’s a sense that one quake after another will shift all the foundations of our society and will continue to shift it towards nothing good. Those words are completely destroyable, so the person feels desperate. Now these scare people because they feel they will be helpless.
The truth is, you are never without options that can get you back on track, never. You have to accept responsibility for your own future. Every generation has overcome challenges and prospered; just read a history book and you’ll see. A truly courageous person is not immune to fear but it plays a different role in their lives. Their fears are about not living up to their ideals. They are afraid about not taking advantage of the opportunities that are always within reach; fear of nothing but fear itself.
Patients who at times in hospitals or in convalescent homes fear that they’re going to die. Do you know what helps them through the day? Knowing that they are loved by others and that they can make it through. When you’re always looking somewhere else, that’s when your fears come. If you want to look at life, look at yourself, look what you’ve gone through up until now, and the things you’ve been able to accomplish. You will see, it’s quite amazing.
Give yourself the credit to know that you’ve been able to overcome so many obstacles. You can keep on going and you can do so much more than this. Don’t let fear bother you, or the fear itself become an object of your responsibilities to be turned off. Be what you can be and you’ll be given the courage because you deserve it; and never fear anything but fear itself. Don’t let it stop you. You can be whatever you want at anytime, anywhere.
