You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Fear
"We cannot be fearful of things that are beyond our control."

That was what I learned last night. It was mentioned by Mei who presented on books. A lot of times I find myself worrying or being fearful about something that is not true or has not happen yet. Its very nerve wrecking. However, isnt fear only present when there is no faith? I feel like in the midst of being so busy, I have lost touch with myself, I do not know me anymore. I am a different person now and I do not like it. I like me better in the past. This could be due to the lackof positives that went into me. I seem to experience too many negativity nowadays, its like an ongoing traffic into my ears and eventually into my head. It is affecting my speech pattern. I have to change. I have to change NOW.

Mei also mentioned that people usually have 2 biggest fear. What other people say and think. Thats right, people do worry about what other people think about them. Isnt this just pointless? It is totally beyond our control what others might think about us. I have met people who are so worried what others think of them and because of that, has limited themselves from doing great things. They end up living like an average person in a mediocre lifestyle. This is called 'safe'. And when they leave this world, they will only be known to their family and close friends and nobody else. Nevertheless, they continue searching for something better in their lives to no avail because they are so fearful of what others might think of them.
Imagine if Mother Theresa, Gandhi, Einstein, Henry Ford thought like that? The world will be a less better place. The difference was that these people are just ordinary people with extraordinary dreams. They had a vision, a selfless vision not just for themselves but for others as well.

I think my biggest enemy here is not the people who talk about me. It is me. I am my biggest enemy. No one can do anything to me but myself. I control what I do and what happen to me. If I have myself strongly grounded, nobody can shake me.

For the things that I cannot control, just let it be. No use worrying about it. You should too. I have total confidence in you. Why are you doubting yourself? Nothing good ever comes out of doubt and fear. You need to start believing in me. And I believe in you.

I have to do this. It is the right thing to do.
