You might hear someone say, Im not afraid of anything in this life, is that true? Maybe, but only until the moment the words were spoken (no lie), not yet the time to meet or fall into a situation named fear. Fear always appears when we don't want to see it. The problem is how to overcome the fear?
Take the example of the women's singles match in badminton at the 33rd SEA Games between Nguyen Thuy Linh - the 4th seed, and Ni Kadek Dhinda Amartya Pratiwi of Indonesia. The 19-year-old admitted to "entering the game in a state of psychological stress" and "fear of prolonging the play, fear of being left behind by the opponent". That happened in set 1, so even though Pratiwi took the lead, he still lost.
The remarkable thing is how she overcame it.Her teacher gave her advice to re-activate her confidence, not to change her tactics, by...overcoming her fear: "Just extend the ball, you are healthy, don't be afraid!".As a result, it turned out that when I extended the bridge in game 2 and game 3, Thuy Linhs small mistakes were also predictable.
What I was afraid of was not really that difficult, it was just my thoughts, Pratiwi said after coming back against the No. 1 female tennis player in Vietnam.Jim Rohn once said, when you are afraid of something, you have to do it the more.Fear is what prevents you from getting closer to your goals and big dreams.And because Pratiwi wanted to win to prove her ability, she chose to promote her strengths, controlling Thuy Linh's strengths.
Instead of wishing things to be easy, wish yourself to become better, more resilient to face fear. Fear does not disappear on its own, but requires action to overcome it. Turning fear into motivation. You often lose from the start just because you imagine a bad result. The fear of making mistakes prevents you from getting started. The fear of losing makes you not dare to extend your efforts. Many thoughts make the road crooked. Only when I act do I see that everything is not as blurred as I thought.
And now ask those who not know what to fear, what their motivation is and what their current life is like?
