When we think, why we are ignoring our instincts ? Why are we not following our instincts? The only answer you will have is the fear, in actual lot of fears in our mind that are holding us back to take that first step.
Fear of people’s perception about us , if it’s good, then we are afraid of taking that step as we think it may get changed to something negative.
Fear of acceptance by our own near and dear ones. Fear of living in insecurity etc.
But I think the real thing is not fear but your own self belief and confidence on yourself.
Ever you think what will happen even if it goes wrong , nothing will actually change outside as people’s perception itself is temporary and full of their own self motives .
But it will change a lot inside you. It will change what you think about yourself. You will first time realise that it’s real you who is breathing in your body.
And I think that’s first step and only step you need to take to drive away all your fears. Fear itself is a worry about something that may happen but it hasn’t yet happened.
People’s perception changes with time and your position till the time you will continue living upto their perception of being right and still you can’t make all happy as all have different perspectives again.
But once you start being yourself ,your self outlook will be permanent and people will start thinking that can they really make a wrong perception about you. It’s tough in the start but once you become fearless life is simple and clear .
Above everything you will be at peace with yourself
