Narrative essay about conquering fear

2. Principle two – Overcoming FEAR Our second principle for better self-empowerment is the overcoming of fear in general. Fear is a part of our lives. It appears when we are uncertain or faced with something new. It is natural to feel this way, but it can become a problem when it rules our every decision.

The key to overcoming fear and self doubt is tackling the problem head on. There´s no one solution to every fear, but by doing what is scary and not letting it stop them of things. Such as someone winning the lottery or even having a tragic loss in the family. My important event in life was the day I conquered my fear of heights.

“Accept and respect children's fears. Fears are real to children, so don't laugh or say their fears are not real. Children will grow out of most fears. First, they need to learn skills to deal with fears" (Helping Children Overcome Fears, Goetze, Giselle).

Some are just temporary whereas others just linger, haunting them forever. Life allows us each of us to experience challenges in our own way. But when these challenges become almost impossible to complete, they become long term problems. When faced with fear, one looks for the easiest route out, but in my case, there were no signposts.
