Fear comes unconsciously to a person and stimulates some thoughts or feelings that make the individual doubt his decision and gut feeling. Fear is natural and is present through every person on this planet, however, there is a huge difference with how people deal with fear.

It is good to take a step back and look carefully at the situation again, but fear often limits us to try to take advantage of an opportunity due to the fear of the unknown and to eliminate the possibility of failure. For sure no one wants to be a failure or a loser, therefore people tend to let fear lead them into staying in their current bubble and not to take risks. This fact will definitely be the reason of holding many people down and prevents them from maximizing their potential in life. The thing is that the concept of failure and success are misunderstood in our society because they really vary for each person.

Not only can you learn from that particular situation, but also work on it to ameliorate it and make it even better than what you expected.
