Overcome fear and be brave enough to do what you dare not do

What would we do if we encountered something we didn’t dare to do in life or work? Should you force yourself to challenge, or should you give up immediately and retreat to your comfort zone?

In "Puppy Money", Bodo Schaefer gives the author's answer through the conversation between Gia and her neighbor, that is, be brave enough to do what you originally dare not do, and it will Brings many good things.

After the 12-year-old girl Gia, her bank consultant Ms. Heina learned about her excellent money management methods, she suggested that Gia go to her child’s school and attend a student and parent meeting. She gave a speech last year to share her money management methods with students of the same age.

When Gia thought about giving a speech at a conference with so many people, she immediately became extremely nervous and immediately rejected Ms. Hina's opinion, but Ms. Hina still asked Gia to think about it again.

Gia went to her neighbor Mr. Hallenkamp’s house and learned that Gia was afraid of going to the school assembly to speak. Hallenkamp told Gia his personal experience.

He once loved photography enthusiastically. He interrupted his apprenticeship and traveled around the world for 13 years. Later he opened a photo studio, sold it a few years later and bought a hotel. Later, he worked in Europe. Real estate business. And he managed to strike up a conversation with his beautiful wife at the time on a train, and she eventually became his wife. Mr. Hallenkamp gained a wonderful life, a lot of wealth, and the love of his life. As he said, "The best things in my life happened because I did things I didn't dare to do."

If we only do things that are easy for us, we will always stay in If we are in the comfort zone, we may not meet new people, have new opportunities, change our way of thinking and cognition, or grow.

Just like our neighbor Mr. Hallenkamp, ??although he pursues what he is interested in, he is also accompanied by fear in the process. When traveling around the world alone, he encounters more difficulties than we imagine. When you open a store and do business with zero foundation, you need to deal with all kinds of people. You don't know where to start. You are afraid of not having customers or going bankrupt. But can we give up because we are afraid? If he gave up, Hallenkamp wouldn't have everything he has now.

Before we do it, we think about how embarrassing it will be if we fail, and how bad it will be if we don’t do it well.

Looking back on all the things we worried about in the past, in the end most of the bad things we worried about would not happen. Even if we didn't do well, it was still not as bad as we imagined.

Friends, if we want to make our lives more exciting, we must overcome fear, lose the shackles of face, and bravely challenge things that we did not dare to do before.

As Mrs. Hallenkamp said, “Once you overcome the fear of losing face, the world opens up to you.
