How to overcome fear?
Fear comes from sight. You can only fear what you see. People are afraid of some specific animals, when they see them; and this is either because they have already seen that kind of animal hurt someone, or have heard stories about that particular animal.
For instance, most people believe that lions or snakes are dangerous animals to fear, but the majority of them have never even seen these animals.
Nevertheless, fear does not just come from what we see with our physical eyes or the stories we hear. Fear also comes from what our mind-eye sees in form of imagination.
So there are three types of sights that trigger fear:
- Fear based on a sight gained through an experience
- Fear based on a sight gained through stories
- Fear based on a sight gained through false judgment
How to have self-confidence?
By Alain Dagba
Self-confidence is personal power. Without personal power you can’t use your gifts and your talents. Without personal power, you can’t even pursue a dream or a vision. Without personal power, having a lot of knowledge is useless; because knowledge without application is useless.
Personal power is the fuel of will power and human spiritual, psychological, and social evolution. Self-confidence or personal power is needed in everything. It gives you the ability of self-motivation and the capacity to face challenges and overcome obstacles.
Those who have a higher degree of personal power succeed quickly in life and easily find solution to problems. Because they have enough personal power, they develop a better affinity with others, and function at the highest level of survival. They approach life with boldness and make their choices and decisions with accuracy, clarity, and absolute responsibility.
L’histoire de Petit Joseph
Ecrit par Alain Yaovi M. Dagba
A sa naissance on l’appelait Joseph tout simplement. Pendant qu’il grandissait, plusieurs remarquèrent qu’il n’allait pas devenir un homme de taille élancée. Alors, très tôt, il prit le nom de petit Joseph. Joseph était un beau garçon africain.
Le père de Joseph était le pasteur de l’église la plus visitée de la ville. Sa mère était propriétaire d’une des boutiques les plus fréquentées de leur quartier. La famille était aisée et beaucoup respectée.
Contrairement à ce qu’ont passé plusieurs, Joseph grandit et devint une personne de taille élancée. Donc à l’âge de 18 ans, on ne l’appelait plus petit joseph. On l’appelait P.J. comme pour camoufler l’erreur révélée par ce paradoxe.
