For a long time, I had this panic gripping fear of snakes. I would not even take my dog out for a walk in the evening. The fear did not leave me even when I lived on the 6th floor of a building in Mumbai. It seems so irrational, isn't it? But that is what fear does. Was there a snake lurking near the bushes? It doesn't matter because I was already afraid. The fear came from just thinking about the snake. What really caused that fear? I have no idea what caused it, but I know that I had learned to experience that fear. I had imagined that fear over and over again in my head, each time exaggerating in my mind and heightening the fear. How did I overcome my fear? I just learned to respond differently to it. If you keep doing the same things, you will keep getting the same results. If you want to see different results, think and act differently. What would you say is your biggest fear? How would you respond differently?
