The fear of falling off a bicycle as a child, the fear of a particular subject a day before the exam, the fear before going for a job interview, the fear of losing a job, the fear of losing a loved one, the fear of failing in life, or simply the fear of something as small as a spider in your room; fear cannot be measured in magnitude. Fear is fear. A child feels it, a teenager feels it, an adult feels it, and an old-aged person with all the experiences of life also feels it. And often this fear takes over the mind of a person making them feel helpless and demotivated.
The feeling of fear is common, but the solution is not. Fear is nothing but a state of mind. It can be controlled, it can be overcome – provided you have the right approach towards dealing with it. Fear stops you from achieving what you can, it hampers your potential. It traps you and prevents you from going ahead. But here, we have a whole lot of quotes that will make you feel strong, make you believe in yourself, and not give in to fear.
