Tips for Overcoming Fear









As fear moves in to places

where there is poor clarity 

the best way to handle fear 

 is to be clear -  know what you want,

clear on what you see as your purpose of life!


Clarity destroys fear to a great extent

after all, there is no longer fear of the unknown 

since  you know  what you want

you can prepare for it 

be ready to take risks, if needed

you are not taken by surprise! 


Preparation, preparation, preparation in cricket

helped  Dhoni to reach for, and attain success 

The equivalent of preparation in corporates

for managers and leaders is planning! 

yes, it 's planning that is an antidote

to the malady of "Fear of the unknown"   


Unique requirement in the future

would be the ability to deal with the unknown

be it a world wide pandemic, an economic meltdown

political disruption or hostile takeovers...


Time to say goodbye to 

this culture of " taking permissions" 

instead  encourage "taking initiatives" 


Fear promotes silo working

discourages communication 

fear it is, that prevents collaboration 


Banish fear through clarity

planning and flexibility, 

you will then be able to

Connect, Communicate and Collaborate, for success!

  4. The old adage says real life begins when the fear ends. Tackling fear is the biggest task for mankind. The fear of future and its impact is dreaded most wasting today's pleasure. Life moves on exploring the positivity despite the fear. Good poem🐳🐋🐬🐟🍁🌺🥀
