Scars of Strength: My Battle with Fear and Financial Loss

in #hive-1538507 months ago

So guys, sometimes in 2017, I faced my deepest fear. To be honest guys, that moment was indeed a dark and demoralising time in my life and I never pray to experience such ever again.

I had this constant fear of losing everything I had worked so hard for. Just like that, I found myself broke with lots of debts piling up. I couldn't see a way out of the darkness as there were no light at the end of the tunnel and that's how I found myslf being suffocated with that sense of hopelessness.

But amidst all these, I was so determined that I ended up making a choice to be courageous and face my fears as it comes since I needed to fight for a better future. It wasn't really easy guys because there were moments when I almost gave up and moments when I almost yielded to the overwhelming weight of failure. But thanks to my determination because I knew deep down that I couldn't let fear dictate my destiny.

And so, I began to look out for things that would inspire and motivate me. I surrounded myself with those that would influence me positively and I refused to let negativity consume me. This was how I started to believe in myself again and once again, I began to envision a life that's beyond the circle of my current circumstances.

To the glory of God, slowly and steadily, things began to change. I ended up seeing opportunities where I least expected them, and trust me, I seized these opportunities without hesitating due to my determination to escape my financial problems. I worked tirelessly, pushed myself beyond my limits and of course, I didn't allow my fear hold me back.

So gradually, against all odds, I began to rebuild what I had lost. Like I said earlier, it wasn't an easy ride because there were lots of obstacles, setbacks and discouragement along the way that would have made me give up, but I was determined never to allow those things stop me from accomplishing my goal. I was motivated by that sense of purpose and resilience and that's how I kept pushing forward with no reason to back down.

With time, I was able to overcome my fears and as at today, I can proudly say that I have been able to overcome these fears totally. I may not be where I want to be yet, but the truth is that I am no longer where I used to be. I have risen from the ashes of my past, stronger and more determined than ever before.

To be honest guys, facing my fears was a defining moment in my life. It was a moment that taught me the true meaning of courage and perseverance and even though the scars of that time may still linger, they absolutely don't define who I am, but only serve as a reminder of how far I've come and the strength that lies within me.

In the end guys, I got to learn that fear is not something we should avoid or ignore, but it's something we have to confront and overcome. I was able to discover the power of determination and resilience in confronting my fears and I believe you can also discover something much more than this when you finally decide to confront your fears. A friendly advice, please don't wait untill it's too late.

Good script here, fear should be confronted and overcome. Oftentimes, the fear of failure sparks a deep motivation to success

And that's exactly actually what spured me to success. Thanks for your feedback

You're welcome

I'm glad you had the courage to improve yourself, to leave where you were and look for something better. Sometimes fear helps us survive, but it's what makes us stay stuck where we are, so it's not easy to make that decision.

At certain times, being strong and responding to our fear is the only way out!

You are right. Thanks so much for this powerful comment. I appreciate
