Fear is nothing but just an emotion, which our elders, parents, ancestors have introduced to us. As kids we are not afraid of anything, it slowly creeps up in our lives.
Let me tell you one such incidence from my life, which taught me not to fear anything. Just face anything that comes in front of you.
I worked as a Branch Head in one very famous MNCs in Jaipur. The beautiful pink city, am totally in love with this city. I was working with a team of 150 members.
Every year, we used to go on a company-sponsored trip to different holiday locations. This time we planned a trip to Ranthambore, world-famous wildlife sanctuary in Rajasthan. It was the month of October 2013. We hired buses to reach Ranthambore from Jaipur. We stayed in tents, it was very beautiful to add up to our experience.
The best part was early morning safari. Spotting the tiger was the biggest challenge and at the same time exciting. We all were divided into groups and headed towards the jungle in jeeps.
Thankfully we got a well-experienced driver. Who was saying us many things, like sometimes people go on 6 to 7 times on safari just to have a look of the tiger
Sometimes they leave disheartened after trying for a number of times. And do you know that Ranthambore is very famous for Machli the tigress? Many foreigners visit just to have a glance of Machli.
As we all were on the way, the driver said we are in the area of Machli the tigress, but it’s quite tough to spot her."In recent times we haven’t spotted her", said the driver. Then one of my teammates said to me, "you should be lucky if you spot her today."What I replied to him was…"No, she should be lucky that I have come to see her."
By the way, my close pals in the office used to call me "tigress" for all my achievements and how I dealt with the toughest situations in the office. But inside of me….I was telling to myself. How will I face the tigress, a person who is scared of dogs. And I was sitting on the front seat beside the driver.
And to our surprise what we could see, Machli the tigress coming towards us from left. She came walking like a Queen, tilted her head and looked towards me. I too looked directly into her eyes, she could jump on me just in the leap. We were that close. After waiting for a few minutes, she slowly walked away.
I was overjoyed. The excitement was uncontrollable, that I spotted the world-famous tigress right in front of me. And there was not even a bit of fear in my heart, while she was looking at me. That one incidence taught me, fear is in our mind. The moment we face it, it vanishes.
At work and also the places where we socialize, we find a lot of criticism. People try to pull us down. They scare the shit out of us. Most of our lives, we lead to fear. Fear of what would go wrong, fear of trying new things and relationships.
Always remember that nothing is permanent in life. Change is evident. Going out facing your fears, makes your life worth living. If you haven’t tried it, do it from today. Start with conquering small fears. The things you have been fearing all your life. I promise you, you will feel more happy, alive and start loving everything around you.
