Challenge, Fear & Pressure...

With Pressure comes Fear; and With Fear Comes Greater Pressure.

It is inevitable to face pressure in our daily life. We get it from work, family and friends and even from strangers that we do not know. The more pressure we have, the more fear we built up in us and the more difficult to get things done.

Can we turn all these negative influences into something positive? How can we make use of the fear and pressure and turn them into positive energy?

We have it in us, just that not all of us know how to deal and work on it. As everyone deal with their stress and fear differently thus there is no sure proof method on telling someone how he/she should do it. I guess we can always use the fear and pressure as motivation and encouragement to do better, to move forward and not to hold us back or retreating. Try thinking of some rewards for yourself if you could achieve or overcome certain things.

I always believe that the biggest thing to challenge myself with is, well MYSELF. As all of us have our own capabilities as well as limitations, so we can never be the best of all coz somewhere around the world, there are always people who are much better than us.

So why do we want to pressure ourselves by challenging other people's limit? The biggest achievement is not about how many people we could win out there coz we can never win them all. The most important thing is having our own breakthrough. We do better than what we think we could. When you achieve something better than you can imagine, you surprise yourselves again by making another bigger achievement. You have done your best and you have go beyond your limit, so even if you lose to others that doesn't make you any less than others.

For example, if there is a singing competition where the contestants are make out of Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Christina Aguilera and other many great singers, let say if Mariah Carey wins the competition, does it mean the rest are not as good a singer than Mariah Carey? Of course NOT!

So that's what I'm trying to say if you can follow me.

Do not be afraid to lose to others by giving more pressure to ourselves. Really, coz what really matter is to win ourselves over. Selah! ;)
