One fear at a time
Be it trying out a new hairstyle, making a public speech for an audience or selecting a prom dress, we all have fears. Worrying about what society would say if we do something the way we like and how to handle the situation at a time of failure are two of the worst fears.
Overcoming the second, is the hardest being a student. Failures are always incoming if you want to step out of your comfort zone. After a failure, at least you know how it could go wrong which makes it a good way to gradually overcome fears.
Something you are afraid that you will fail is definitely something you should try. It keeps you pulling back from your true potential.
I, myself, had fears and still having many. But I was able to find the epiphany of defeating a fear. Believe me! it brings you a lot of self-development and recharges you to go down the road steadily!
