My crazy thoughts

You are the writer of your life story. If things have not been good so far, you have the capability to change the ending. You are the director of your story, you can change characters. You are the producer of your life. You have the capability to change the energy and effort you have put on yourself. You are also the hero, you have all the ability to act whenever you want.
The reason why ‘preparation’ is the only key to demolish fear is because no one gets afraid of the same thing twice if you go with preparation. I will push two situations in its clearest forms possible, if you fall down into a lake from a cliff – that will never make you able to even talk about heights, the fear will be with you for a long time, but if you jumped down from a cliff – even if it’s your first time, the moment your last foot leaves the cliff, the fear will leave you and reward you with nothing but a feeling you feel very rarely.
As long as you keep ‘uncertainty’ in your conscience, you will be armed with ‘preparations,’ which might not at times let you overcome in the first but will never let you give up after falling. It's fun doing what we are good at but overcoming what you fear about and what you are worst at lies the real growth and happiness.
If you are afraid of heights, before an unexpected incident crushes you completely, wait till this lockdown opens and go to a place where you can jump like it’s the last. I know it sounds wild but, I know the feeling and I want you to feel it. It’s heaven, it’s the only way to feel nothing but the earth’s gravity.  
Success has no parameters, there is no comparison between you and anyone else. The bars are created by you and you only. You are a unique creation of this wonderful nature who has been given all the ability to make something powerful and different, the problem is we kill that ability in us unconsciously. You see how children build up stories of monsters and dragons, they are scared of them and then they kill them also in their own imagination. The question is from where does that imagination come and where does the same creativity go as we grow ?
We get too close to realities and burn alive that passionate desire to dream and be different. We start thinking things like: I don't have enough money to start my venture ? What if I fail ? What if my heart gets broken ? What if I take a leap and fall straight to the ground ? Oh no, that’s not practical at all ! So on... The list is endless. Our mind is a fertile ground. You sow seeds of sunflowers, they shall bloom in that garden. You sow weeds, they shall bloom in full swing too. Now it's up-to you, which you think you want to make your reality. Fear is good only when you want order and discipline. Otherwise, for everything else, it's good to have a free-flowing creative energy. How do you tap that ? Get connected to the source from where it's generated, your soul. Stop looking for answers outside, look inside. Stop finding faults, find goodness. Stop finding excuses, find reasons.
Life is a journey not a race. Making this journey beautiful or an ugly experience is totally up to us. Not knowing the direction before starting the journey is okay or to know the entire map but not start is foolishness. Starting from mid-way or starting from zero all over again, correct ? Do we need to love your creation and be possessive about it or is it courageous to burn everything you created and build from scratch ? Is it fine to delve deep or be superficial ? Team work better or being a loner ?
Let me tell you a secret, anything you fear is something you can do. Confused ? If I tell you to turn water into wine, you will start laughing because only Jesus can do that. Or Rahul Gandhi can change potato to gold, that’s some next level game but I won’t go there. What if I tell you to dance in the middle of a busy footpath ? You will surely find it uneasy, do you know why ? Because that’s possible. Trust me, what you CAN in life lies more in what you CAN’T, fun lies more in fears, what you fear carries more potential than what you love.
Therefore, the list you made with the things you are scared of has more things you will love than the other list.
Lastly, you only fear what’s possible. The moment you think you can’t, trust me – that’s something you can do.
