Conquer The Unknown and Fulfill Your Destiny

The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear – fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable. What he wants above everything else is safety. – Henry Louis Mencken (Fear of Unknown Quote)

Fear the Unknown?

When I was young, possibly 7 or 8 and only 4′ tall, we had a bear come into our front yard. A big old black bear. It was passing by in search for a trash can with some unfinished dinner.

Boy Vs. Bear

Being a young boy with an ego the size of a small hummer, I decided that it was my duty to protect my family and pet collie named Chester from this mean old nasty bear. I quickly grabbed my trusty baseball bat and headed to the door. As soon as I grabbed the door handle, I felt a pull on my collar so hard that it yanked me to the floor (I was only 80 lbs at most so it wasn’t that hard of a yank). I gathered myself and I heard a voice from a large laugh say..

“Boy, what are you stupid or something?”

I probably should’ve been afraid, but I wasn’t. If I can see it, hear it and size it up then I’m not worried. It is when there is an unknown that I get terrified.

Mystery of Women

I am afraid of approaching women because there is an unknown when it comes to their response.

Women are the most complex creations and you cannot predict their behavior. You ask her a yes/no question twice and you’ll get a yes the first time.. no the second. Ask her again and you’ll get..

“Honey.. choose for me (but it better be the right answer)”

Can you understand my fear? I have no idea nor any understanding of what might occur when I walk up and speak to that odd species known as a woman. Do I say “hello” or do I say “what up, hunny?” Will it come across as needy or will she think I’m some weird psycho.

I don’t know, but it will probably turn out ugly.

Overcome The Fear of the Unknown

But it is an endeavor that I must endure. I must put my ego and self-worth on the line for hope. Hope that someday in the near future, I can smile upon a beautiful face and gaze into a set of emerald green eyes. All that is needed is courage to push beyond the unknown.

This is the same for all important things in our lives

The Courage to See Past The Unknown

In order to achieve greatness in any endeavor, there will come a time in your life that you will be faced with an unknown. You will have to make a choice whether to brave the ocean waters and surf the waves alongside the sharks of the sea or stay on the shore and dream of being what others choose to do.

Success only comes when we push beyond ourselves.

All important things whether God, life or relationships come with uncertainties and a need for faith. If you dream for more then you must get beyond yourself. You got to take a leap and face the consequences and choices of the unknown. We have to face the fear that we might not know which decision to make but we can confidently choose the direction we proceed.

Do you choose to swim in the sea of opportunity?
