Faith and Fear Encounters

To me in simple terms - Faith; is the confidence in something, while Fear; is to have anxiety on something we are uncertain of. Faith is the believe we have for the belief and Fear is an emotion state we feel, that everyone experiences everyday in this realistic world. The Irony is they always work together in a rather inversely proportional way, i.e. when one is higher, the other is low.

When you strongly believe in achieving something; your faith in it builds up. You gain more confidence and any obstacle coming your way will be seen as a challenge other than fear. These tests can be harder than you can imagine, but they are necessary in order for you to learn, not giving up, and each of them will only bring you closer to the realisation of that something you are trying to achieve. One positive emotion, another positive emotion on, can only make you feel happier. Your life becomes generous as you are trying to pursue what you call your destiny*, omens will guide you which makes you cherish every moment of it. And that's the meaning of your existence, living your dream, for the things you want in life.

However, you develop fear on something you feel uncertain or what we call being afraid of, not within your content zone, of which you lack faith - the confidence and any obstacle coming your way will only deepen this fear and lead yourself to failures. One negative emotion, another negative emotion on can only make you feel sad and disappointed, with no meaning to continue. Your life becomes dull and meaningless and you belong nowhere, nonexistent. In spite of all this, it can all begin to change if you try to trust the unbelievable and remove it's uncertainty by taking risks. You can only overcome your fear by passing through the fear itself. Isn't that's why your father throw you in the pool so you can overcome the fear of downing and start to get stabilised and 'learn' to swim?! The fear of suffering is worse than suffering itself and no one will ever suffer this when it went in search of what it wants. When you want something, the whole universe conspires to help you to realise your dream, which is the power of believing, having faith! Wherever there is fear, only faith can help you to get over.

I had been trying to finish this for a while. I know my fears and had always tried to overcome them with faith. There is this one incident, which serves a good example of faith vs fear;


 

*Destiny or something you believe in can either be good or bad for you.
