Do your ideas turn toward motivating by "fear?" Here are some suggestions to avoid that.

Edit Steps

  1. 1
    Act courageously in the face of fear, but do not rush into accepting, hugging and kissing opponents on the check.
  2. 2
    Keep an even keel. Be consistent.
  3. 3
    Do not grossly exaggerate problems.
  4. 4
    Avoid overplaying dangers based on the worst scenario unless it is really imminently possible.
  5. 5
    Allow differences of other persons who may entertain fear, but raise your ideals, opinions.
  6. 6
    Avoid spreading invalid or unnecessary fear.
  7. 7
    Deal with fear related to views of "potential" events to prevent hate or setting blame too quickly.
  8. 8
    Create an opportunity out of adversity. Learn to accept difficulties as often being opportunities -- or showing a need --
  9. 9
    Be Reliable: Fearsome situations need to be accessed and dealt with judiciously and realistically, and in most personal matters forgive and forget.
  10. 10
    Be Brave: Accept dangers of many kinds and do not be overcharged with vain imagining or being vengeful against "ordinary" opponents.
  11. 11
    Give the alarm as a "watchman on the wall"; speak up: if real danger and reasons for fear do exist.

Edit Tips

  • Fear is often based on opinions rather than distinct facts.

Edit Warnings

  • Your fear may be unrealistic, ie: if an event were not all it seemed, is really ordinary, non-exclamatory in nature.
  • Do not immediately turn your back on danger or underplay clear, and imminent danger.
