Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt - Jane Addams
Fear is one of the major hurdles that all of us must pass. Whenever we have to make a decision or take action, it is our own fears and doubts that stand in our way. Even our daily life is affected by the endless doubts that we have on everything around us. Sheesh! How stressful they are!
Today we’ll look at a few solutions to this nagging little feeling that stops us from living out our best. It’s very true that chucking fear out of your life will widen your world and give new experiences that you never imagined. I personally follow these strategies and I’m grateful that I learned them early. I’ve been at peace with myself ever since.

Fighting Fear:
How to Chuck Fear Out of Your Life
.
Face your fears. Though it’s quite natural to panic when we’re afraid or doubtful of something, it’s better if you could just pause and weigh the issue before thinking of running away. Facing your fears will give you a lot of clarity.
Most of them don’t happen. Practically, most of our fears just have a very remote possibility of happening. Why have so many doubts when only a handful of things will go wrong in your life? Come on, we cannot afford to be that negative!
I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened - Mark Twain

If you think that something small cannot make a difference, try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room - Anonymous
I‘ve always believed that the purpose of life is to leave the world better than we found it. I’m sure everyone would agree. But how often do we remind ourselves of this wonderful mission? People find themselves engrossed in their daily lives seldom stopping to think of the impact that they can have on the world. So let’s spare a few minutes to pause and reflect on how we change the world, however big or small, and have an impact on the people around us. Let’s move from being insignificant to leading a meaningful life. Imagine how the world will be if each one of us did our part to improve it :)

How to Change the World
.
Start from within. You need to master your inner self to have an effect on other people’s lives. Remember that the enlightenment door always opens outward.
Be the change you wish to see in the world - Mahatma Gandhi
.
Inspire. Be an inspirational human being. Spread positive feelings and many would love to be around you. Show them the way to happiness and fulfillment.
Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means - Albert Einstein
.
Do things that most fear doing. Show them that everything is possible. Fear of uncertainty is what keeps most people from an extraordinary life. Trust me, the unknown angel is always better than the known devil.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do - Eleanor Roosevelt

I stumbled upon this little piece of wisdom yesterday and it got me thinking. Yes, we must go to the edge to really experience what it is to be there. But should we? Isn’t it dangerous to walk on a thin line? Yes it is. Is it worth it? You bet.
Why live life on the edge?
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect - Mark Twain
.
I’ve always been a risk-monger and I find it really hard to stick to things that are not in coherence with my dreams. The society that I live in believes in the ‘work hard > save > retire’ scheme (ridiculous!). They give me every reason why I will fail if I don’t stick to ‘the rules’. But I like going out of the way, even if it’s a 20-80 chance for success. Why?
Big idea: You cannot give your best shot at life if you’re happy playing safe. A few reasons why you must take risks and live life on the edge: Continue reading ‘Why You Should Take More Risks’

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection - Sigmund Freud
Whenever I go to Mr. Crap’s house (one of my most favorite buddies), I’m constantly reminded of how insanely creative he is. This guy comes up with new ideas to change the world everyday, designs cars, writes good philosophy, plays the piano, is good at academics, speaks six languages and does so many wonderful things that are quite beyond the reach of a 19 year old.
He sure is going to make it big someday, and a share of his laurels will go to the two most important people in his world - his parents. I’ve known them for a number of years now and I must mention that I drew inspiration for this post from these two gentle, caring people.
I know there are lots of people in this world (including me) who are so grateful for the kind of parents that they’ve got. Parents really play a huge role in shaping a kid’s future. I’m sure there are some young parents among the small bunch of readers who come to this blog and I feel that I can help them out with a few tips on being not just a good dad or a good mom but a great one.
So I’ve come up with a list of things that every parent must know to make sure that their children grow up to be wonderful people; a list learned from many parents that I’ve known, including mine :)
