Summary: <a href="http://www.tdktalks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/fear-topic-at-tdktalks.gif"></a>We Are All Born With Many Fears<br> I recently competed in a speech contest. My topic was <a title="All About Fear - Conquer It - Psychology Today" href="http://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/fear" target="_blank">“FEAR”</a> and titled <a title="All About Wolverines" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverine" target="_blank">“Wolverine”</a>. I picked the wolverine, because this animal has 2 unique characteristics.<br> It has no natural enemies and it knows no fear. Imagine that – knows NO fear ! Not the biggest nor the strongest of mammals, its assembles several facets to become rather unique. Wish YOU had no fear? I will give you a few tips below.<br> Fear is somewhat related to comfort zone and here is a short clip from my friend Kamran – <a title="Are You Living in Your Comfort Zone ? - A Short Video Message from Kamran at International Academy of Leadership & Management" href="http://www.internationalacademyofleadership.com/2013/08/11/are-you-living-in-your-comfort-zone/" target="_blank">Are You Living in Your Comfort Zone?</a><br> If you fear public speaking, this blog reinforces the <a title="Public Speaking Jitters Can Be Used to Embrace The Fear - Work For You" href="http://www.futurity.org/got-public-speaking-jitters-experts-say-embrace-the-fear/" target="_blank">“Embrace The Fear”</a> concept.<br> <a href="http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/relationships/professional/use-fear-motivate-yourself?utm_source=GIDG20150402&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=getitdoneguy">Use Fear to Motivate Yourself</a><br> Read a lengthier version of this article on <a title="Read my Article on FEAR on my author page of Ezine Articles" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?FEAR---How-We-Should-Embrace-It&id=8311134" target="_blank">my author page of ezinearticles</a><br> Look back at your childhood. Remember the petty simple things you were afraid of? Now, remember the 1 or 2 you were DEFTLY afraid of? These you thought you would NEVER outgrow. But you did. Some fears melt away without us even knowing it. Others last longer but too, find their parting ways.<br> As we grow older we do learn to manage fear better. But some of us actually become very good at scaring ourselves. How? We dwell on a specific fear over and over. Imagination takes over. A snowflake becomes a snowball and becomes even a huge drift.<br> Typical fears as we grow older are fear of losing, fear of relationships, fear of aging and fear of dying. Many of these we should embrace as we cannot do much about them.<br> When you do sense fear, ask yourself what specific aspect are you afraid of? Write it down and look at it. Say it outloud so you can hear yourself saying it. Sometimes these exercises shows us how trevial our fear really is.<br> If it is a legitimate fear, then use it to drive you. Use it to prepare yourself better. Research your topic. Talk to experts. These are just several things you can do. Overcoming fear builds confidence also. It also lessens your fear factor in the future. It’s positive.<br> And if worse comes to worse, just ask yourself, “What’s the worst that can happen, if my fear comes true?” Answer – Probably very little. If alot, then you should readjust your risk/reward ratio, to accommodate a smaller loss or setback. That’s It !<br> There are things that we cannot control. Accept that. Focus on what you CAN control. Focus on the downside of your fear materializing. And remember – things aren’t really as bad as they initially seem.<br> Bring It On Wolverines ! Embrace Fear – Use it to YOUR advantage – Let it Drive You !<br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/mrTDKtalks/videos" target="_blank">Watch other videos on my YouTube channel by clicking on this link</a><br> <a href="http://www.tdktalks."></a>
