FEAR, A GIANT KILLER By Nyege, Confidence Bekwele.

On that glorious morning as I was creating a hole in the sole of the sandal I was making, I felt the knife cut my finger. The sensation hit my brain And I immediately flung  both the knife and the sole, and pressed my hand over the cut. 

My brain was screaming pain as I saw the stain of blood on the knife, it didn't help as I felt I had sliced off my finger. 

After a while, I decided to release the finger, looked at it and realised that the cut wasn't even as deep as I imagined and it wasn't even bleeding, then it dawned on me.

It wasn't the sensation of pain I felt, no, it was FEAR which paralysed me at that moment, preventing me from thinking straight and accessing the situation rightly at that moment.

You know, life is similar to that incident. 

When we are faced with the situations and challenges of life, we allow FEAR to turn the little heap of sand into a mountain, get so depressed and panicky, that we can't access the situation correctly to arrive at the best solution and unlike the cut, that I had all the time to get over my FEAR and access it, life challenges doesn't give you all the time. 

Learn to convert your FEARS into a drive, don’t let it control you but rather aggressively control your thoughts and FEARS And make something positive out of it. 

After the experience, I choose to rule, and rule over my FEAR!
