The Fear Factor- My Driving lessons Experience

Hi guys!

Been a while since my last post. Wow! now i know how hard it is for bloggers, coming up with contents for their blogs.

So basically, everyone that knows me know that I have a problem with driving. A problem in the sense that i am so scared of being on the same road with other cars because I feel I would hit someone's car and believe you me, no level of English or begging will help such situation.

To overcome this I began taking driving lessons but somewhere midway I abandoned it because I lost hope in myself. After that I never tried going back to my lessons, and then i got talking with someone one day and it dawned on me that fear is actually a state of mind, whereby you lose hope in a situation without even giving yourself the benefit of doubt.

I am going to share a few lessons I have learnt from my personal experiences with fear.

• Never underestimate the power of self-talk- I remember the first time I heard about this, i thought to myself, does this even make sense? Fast forward to present day, anytime I feel nervous or afraid, I self-talk myself with positive words of encouragement. When you wake up in the morning start positively and you will see it goes a long way in making an almost perfect day.

• Belief in oneself- This is actually very key. Personally, I recall a time in my life I had little or no self confidence in myself. Everyone says "no, you can't do this stuff or I don't think you can do this" and i just outright agree without even arguing. This thought limited my abilities to try new things or to even challenge myself. 

It took me almost a year to actually sit and write my first post, before even having the courage to set up the blog, because I saw myself as not having the ability to write anything meaningful and also that no one will be interested in what i have to write. So believe in yourself and experience a multitude of opportunities waiting to be unlocked.

•  Stop Procrastinating- It is a popular saying that "Procrastination is a thief of time". I know for one that it isn't just a saying because from my driving lesson experience, I procrastinated before I started and even after taking a break, it took almost two months for me to finally get my head together and start over. By Procrastinating, a lot of life changing opportunities that are unknown to us are lost and if you are lucky, they just might come around again but most times they are lost forever.

I am hopeful that this post speaks to the innermost part of your fear and encourages you to break barriers because something great lies ahead waiting for you.

Till my next post...... have a blessed week

P.S  Please i would appreciate your comments and reviews, Thank you.
