Fear is a very fearful word itself and we live with different fears at different phases of our lives. We always keep ourselves busy in thoughts of the fears of If & Buts. I must say that there will be no one on this earth who has no fear. It's like impossible.
When we are in our growing age, we do have very small and foolish types of fear like what if we couldn't make in our terms or finals, what if we caught red-handed doing any mischief, what could be happened if anything broke down by our hands. But these fears become of no importance when we grow as an adult. Fears change with the passage of time.
What would be my fears???

When I started growing up, the first fear that was growing up with me was what if I did anything that can displease my mother. I always used to try to do what can please my mother. After that when I came to the age where my senses got an understanding of this world and situations, My mother did a great thing, she put a fear in my heart of ALLAH. Mostly this is a family and parents who do teach their children to fear no one but ALLAH. The same was with me. My mother used to tell me that if I do anything wrong, hide something, lie for whatever; ALLAH sees me and He will punish me for that. This fear of GOD got into my nerves so much afterward that I started thinking about it in whatever I am doing or saying(I am thankful to my mother for that). I always try to keep things going well. But sometimes we lack in our actions and sayings.
So this used to happen with me as well a lot of times. Sometimes right after saying something wrong about anyone (backbiting is a bad manner), ALLAH put this feeling in my heart that "Hey! you back-stabbed and its really bad" and I start asking for forgiveness from Almighty ALLAH. Oh, GOD! This happens to me every time in every single thing though in very small ignorable matters. Like seriously!!!
Because of this Fear; which is actually the biggest fear of my life. There evolve so many other fears either related to respect, performances and actions as I said before. Now in any action either related to my personal or professional life, I always think what would be a better thing to do through which I can please ALLAH. It's not necessary that I have completely done this. I have already observed many times that maybe I have made ALLAH angry with me and then I took a pledge to not repeat the mistakes and I do bow down my head and ask for forgiveness from ALLAH. This fear has a great hold on me because of that I have great respect and love in my heart for my GOD.

There is another fear that always keeps clinging to my mind is the fear to lose my loved ones. This is a very common fear and probably everyone does go through this fear in his/her life AT LEAST for once. But when I think about this, I start feeling like I can not inhale or exhale properly.
My Fears - My Strength
My fears are my strength. Just because of these fears, I always try to make myself a better person. Everyone has flaws but If we do get to know what flaws we have in ourselves only then we can try to erase them. I know with my fears- ALLAH gives me ways to deal with them. He makes my fears my power by telling me that whatever happens, He is with me.
End line:
Never make your fears your weakness. They are just fears at the end, not a reality. You can say that your fears are just a few pieces of your thoughts. Make them your strength and try to fight with them with the best of it.
