The Nature of Fear Most common fears that cause us to procrastinate are: Fear of failure Fear of rejection Fear of loneliness Fear of criticism Fear of making a mistake Fear of making the wrong decision Fear of unworthiness Fear of success Fear of disappointment Fear of the unknown Fear of being uncomfortable Whenever you want to do something to become successful – physically healthy, emotionally more loving, open and generous, financially wealthy and abundant, spiritually aware, connected and closer to Allah (glorified and exalted be He) – the whisper will come, “Don’t!. “You’re going to injure or hurt yourself!”, “What will people think of you?”, “What if they don’t love you back?”, “What if you fail?”, “What if blah blah blah blah blah!’. These whispers create doubt and fear, preventing you from taking action. Satan wants you to play small, think small, be afraid of everything, lead small lives and be small people! But if you believe in the promise of our Creator, then what do you have to fear? He (glorified and exalted be He) promises you forgiveness and abundance. All you have to do is to consistently keep showing up and stepping up.It is uncomfortable, for sure. But that is the path to take if you want an awesome life here and Jannah in the next world. Your level of success, in this world and the next, is going to be directly proportional to the level of uncertainty and discomfort that you can ‘comfortably’ handle.
